Anthony Edwards Backs Finch After Fiery Ejection Timberwolves Win
Chris Finch was ejected six minutes into Friday's game after confronting officials over a no call on Julius Randle. Anthony Edwards loved the fire, saying "I'm f--king with that" and that the team "fed off Finchy's energy." Minnesota rallied to win 112 107 as Edwards finished with 26 points and 12 rebounds, handing Oklahoma City just its third loss of the season. Merlin sees a coach's flare becoming a tool and a risk. Finch's second career ejection jolted the Wolves and showed how much the players respond to visible passion. Edwards offering to pay the fine and backing his coach is a sign of unity. If Finch channels intensity into smart leadership, Minnesota gains late game bite; if not, emotion could cost them.
🧙♂️ Merlin’s Prediction
Odds of Chris Finch being ejected again this season: 40%.
