The Minnesota Timberwolves staged an incredible comeback in the Western Conference Finals series, winning Game 4 to keep their championship hopes alive. They secured a victory in game four against the Dallas Mavericks with a score of 105-100. After the game, Mike Conley Jr., the Minnesota point guard, discussed Head Coach Chris Finch’s technical foul for stepping onto the court.
“You forget the impact it can have when your coach is up getting technicals, yelling, and we see him hobble around to do it; it’s impressive. It lit a fire in all of us.” Conley Jr. said.
As the game approached its conclusion in the third quarter, Finch was penalized for a technical foul after reacting aggressively to a critical offensive foul call. Karl-Anthony Towns accidentally elbowed PJ Washington in the face while trying to draw a foul, resulting in his fifth foul. Chris Finch stepped up and knocked out official Scott Foster in the process. With 15 minutes, the head coach was quickly given a technical foul.

Minnesota’s win in Game 4 was a big one, as they were close to sweeping the series. Despite the loss in Game 3, Edwards was confident and stated during a press conference that the team would make a comeback in the series, just as they did in Game 4. He said, “It’s time to make history, bro.”
