Karl-Anthony Towns and the Minnesota Timberwolves had a tremendous night against the Charlotte Hornets until it all went downhill during the last few minutes. Despite a historic performance from Towns, the Timberwolves lost, and head coach Chris Finch unleashed verbal fury.
Imagine that your best player is doing best player things, like dropping a franchise record 62 points, including 10 made 3-point shots. You might be feeling pretty good heading into the fourth quarter until you run into the brick wall that is the Charlotte Hornets.
Before you know it, you have to seemingly bench that same player late in the fourth quarter for lackluster defense and heaving up unnecessary shots. The rest of the team can’t recover and you blow an 18-point lead at home. That was the reality of Minnesota head coach Chris Finch. When asked about his team’s performance postgame, Finch went scorched earth on his roster.
"It was an absolute disgusting performance of defense and immature basketball."
