That Chris Finch interaction with the official was great television.
Clearly mad about the first-half whistle but finally admits, “No, I don’t think *that one* was a foul!” – 8:31 PM

Chris Finch berating officials for not giving Edwards the call on that layup. Wolves gotta start hitting shots in the second half. 38 percent for the game, just above 30 percent for that quarter. – 8:25 PM

Timberwolves coach Chris Finch used to spend Sunday afternoons at The Spectrum, and Big 5 triple-headers at The Palestra. So whenever he coaches against the Sixers, it’s special:
“I’m living my dream. I just think to myself how lucky I am.”

Chris Finch on Conley helping Rudy: “I think you see it. The chemistry is obvious. We could’ve played another 40 games and just begin to develop that. … He wants it to work. Understands how to make it work & can play well off each other. I think Rudy has got a pep in his step.” – 2:42 PM

“Teams are already talking about it,” Timberwolves insider Jon Krawczynski said during an appearance on Zach Lowe’s podcast. “There’s no doubt that other teams are eyeing this situation and looking to see if Karl-Anthony Towns will become available.” -via Spotify / February 28, 2023
“I can tell you from everyone that I’ve talked to within the organization, they very much believe in KAT. They believe that once he comes back and they have some time to build around ANT (Anthony Edwards) and [Rudy] Gobert and KAT, they very much believe that can still work. Chris Finch believes it. Tim Connelly believes it. They don’t have any plans to trade him.” -via Spotify / February 28, 2023
