Timberwolves Rally to Victory After Coach Chris Finch’s Uncharacteristic Ejection

Minnesota head coach Chris Finch was ejected for the first time in his career during a heated game against the Suns, sparking a fourth-quarter surge and a fourth consecutive win.

Chris Finch, known for his typically calm demeanor, was ejected in the third quarter after receiving two technical fouls for profanity and derogatory remarks directed at officials.
Anthony Edwards played a key role in de-escalating the situation, preventing Finch from facing potentially harsher consequences during the incident.
The Timberwolves, trailing at the time of Finch's ejection, responded with an energized performance, outscoring the Suns and securing a 121-113 road victory.
Assistant coach Micah Nori credited Finch’s fiery approach as a motivating factor for the team, who have now won four consecutive games in the competitive Western Conference.
The NBA is expected to fine Finch between $15,000 and $50,000 for his actions, as league officials confirmed the use of inappropriate language during the game.
