Timberwolves Slip Into Another Funk as Finch Warns Team Is Off Its Level

Minnesota Timberwolves
April 2026

Chris Finch said the Timberwolves are “a million miles away” from the team they believe they can be after another poor stretch, with Minnesota losing four of five and letting home-court hopes slip. Injuries and bad shooting have hit them at the wrong time. Minnesota fell to 46-32 after a home loss to Charlotte, while Anthony Edwards has missed eight of the last 10 games with knee pain and Jaden McDaniels has also been out. Finch said the problem is not only injuries but also spirit, discipline and a lack of connectedness.

Dosunmu Treating Playoff Return as a Major Opportunity With Timberwolves

Ayo Dosunmu said he is not taking playoff basketball for granted as he moves toward a second postseason appearance, this time with Minnesota after February’s trade from Chicago. He has become an important part of the Timberwolves’ push for a top-six seed in the West. Minnesota traded for Dosunmu because they wanted more backcourt playmaking and versatility, and he has delivered career-best scoring and efficiency this season. Dosunmu said his early playoff experience with Chicago taught him that postseason chances are not guaranteed and must be valued when they come.

Edwards Returns as Timberwolves Crush Mavericks and Regain Momentum

Anthony Edwards returned from a six-game absence and helped Minnesota hammer Dallas 124-94, giving the Timberwolves a major lift for the closing stretch. He played limited minutes, looked sharp, and said afterward that sitting out had helped him see what the team needed. Reuters reported Edwards scored 17 points in the win, while Ayo Dosunmu produced a triple-double to drive the offense. Edwards also made headlines for missing the opening tip because he was in the bathroom, then coming on shortly after and settling smoothly back into the game flow.

Depth-powered Bulls start 3–0 as Giddey embraces role fluidity

Josh Giddey (Chicago Bulls)

Chicago’s 3–0 launch blends rotation aggression with bench productivity, highlighted by Josh Giddey’s 18-13-5 and Ayo Dosunmu’s 21 against Atlanta. Multiple double-figure scorers nightly and selfless substitution choices—Giddey even waved himself off in Orlando—signal identity: pace, multiple handlers, and lineup versatility without a single dominant closing five. Billy Donovan is toggling small looks (Patrick Williams at five), movement shooters, and guard-guard actions to sustain creation. The risk is volatility across 82; mitigation is role clarity, defensive glass emphasis, and late-clock structure. If bench units keep winning minutes, Chicago’s play-in ceiling becomes a playoff berth. Early sample, credible signs.
