Jim Boylen’s spirited comments during Monday’s shootaround included the Bulls head coach admitting that “it’s going to be rough for a while” while his young team learns how to play his style.
The rough patch that’s plagued the Bulls ever since they knocked off the Thunder on Friday night continued Monday with another ugly performance that ended in a smattering of boos from the few who stuck around to watch the end of a 108-89 loss to the Sacramento Kings.
They committed a season-high 27 turnovers, watched a 14-point first-half lead slip away and couldn’t match the energy level of a West Coast team finishing a four-games-in-seven-nights road trip in the Midwest.
