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.

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.

Minnesota Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch has been fined 35,000 dollars for using inappropriate language toward officials and refusing to leave promptly after his ejection during the first quarter of a 112-107 home win over the Oklahoma City Thunder. Finch was hit with two technical fouls and tossed with 6:19 left in the opening period after protesting calls, and the NBA’s basketball operations chief James Jones later announced the substantial sanction as part of ongoing efforts to clamp down on verbal abuse of referees.
