After less than three seasons and a mere 205 games as head coach of the Minnesota Timberwolves, Chris Finch is already second in franchise history to Flip Saunders for total victories, playoff appearances and winning percentage.
Yes, that is largely because the Wolves have been historically inept over its 35-year existence. But the arrival of Finch has coincided with the end of the doom loop of failed rebuilds since the team traded its iconic superstar Kevin Garnett in 2007. The team’s standing has progressed to the point where last season’s 42-40 record was regarded as something of a disappointment, only partially mitigated by the nearly four-month absence of Karl-Anthony Towns due to injury.
