Bulls veterans Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan said some touch conversations will be needed for the team to turn itself around.

SACRAMENTO — Billy Donovan gave his players Monday off.

The length of the six-game trip warranted that. The play definitely didn’t.

Regardless, the Bulls’ coach was banking on them having a new focus on toughness when they reconvene during practice Tuesday.

One veteran player promised plenty of tough love awaiting a 9-14 team that has dropped seven of its last 10 games.

“There’s going to be tough conversations, there’s going to be words said,’’ guard Zach LaVine said.
