DeMar DeRozan addressed the heavy road loss of the Chicago Bulls to the reigning NBA champions Milwaukee Bucks (98-126).
The superstar guard/forward believes the current slide will let his team understand if they can fight for the title.
“If we haven’t got it (the message), we are getting it now. Understanding what it’s going to be like, and even tougher, come playoffs. We are going through it right now, what you call battle wounds, battle scars.
We are king of taking them all on the chin right now. It’s going to show us what we are made of,” DeMar DeRozan told media, including Hedgeout.net, afterwards.

The Bulls dropped to 42-30 and are fifth in the East. They have now lost four of their last five games and seven of their last eight matches on the road.
The current slide has also put their direct qualification for the playoffs in jeopardy, as they are just two wins above the Cleveland Cavaliers (40-32). The latter hold the top play-in tournament spot.
Chicago tipped off a five-game road trip with a heavy defeat. Up next, they will travel to New Orleans to face the Pelicans on Thursday.
