Can I win with a rook against bishop and a knight in an endgame?

I have recently encountered many endgames in which I had only a rook and my opponent had a bishop and a knight. Many of the games I lost, and some of them, I drew. Can you tell me that drawing for me in such endgames is good for me? Or should I have won? If yes, can you tell how to win in such positions.

I would like to see games with rook against bishop and knight. These sre invredibéy rare. Two minor pieces are slightly better of course, but draw is most likely result. Rook can win only in case that others side blunder both pieces for free.

I meant “these are incredibly rare”

Of course, everything depends on the specific position, but it must be incredibly difficult to win with a rook against bishop and knight. Even if you win one of the minor pieces, it is very difficult to win with a rook against one minor.

I just wonder how the hell you managed to lose with a rook vs bishop and knight with no pawns on the board. It requires special "skill" to achieve that.
