Peyton Watson is still very much in the learning stage of his NBA career. That includes learning new rules.

During a brief interruption of his career night Monday, he was left dumbfounded by an overturned foul call that added insult to facial injury. It happened in the third quarter. Bulls guard Coby White worked his way deep under the basket then jerked backward to force contact, the back of his head colliding with the front of Watson’s. The 22-year-old wing crumpled. White was tagged with an offensive foul. Chicago coach Billy Donovan elected to challenge it.
