The results of late for second-year head coach Billy Donovan and the Chicago Bulls were anything but inspiring given the five-game losing streak the team is currently riding. Following yet another convincing double-digit loss for the Bulls in the midst of this wave of injuries in the last couple of weeks, the hope for this team has to be that they start getting key players back ASAP.

Although, this is also a time for the Bulls to reflect on what went right and what went wrong through the first half of the regular season. Following their loss to the Boston Celtics on the road on the back end of back-to-back games on the night of Jan. 15, the Bulls officially made it to the halfway mark of the regular season.

And the losing streak managed to extend into the first game of the second half of the regular season against the Memphis Grizzlies on the afternoon of Jan. 17.
