The Wolves have a 160-127 record since Finch became the head coach.
The numbers show they have progressively gotten better and better and are now one of the best teams in the league.
Finch has been able to find the perfect approach for Minnesota, using their size and youth perfectly.
At the center of it all is Anthony Edwards, who is seen as the future of the league by many fans.
Others, such as Karl-Anthony Towns, Rudy Gobert, Naz Reid, and others, give the team so much too.
That was on full display last season as the Timberwolves had their best run in years, going 56-26 in the regular season and bursting into the playoffs in a big way.
They were arguably the most exciting team in the playoffs and praised by nearly everyone, including people who hadn’t been paying attention to the Timberwolves lately.
Even though they weren’t able to go all the way to the Finals, there is no doubt that the team will be one of the most popular when the new season begins.
Finch has not only enhanced the team’s offensive skills but he has also turned the Timberwolves into defensive masters too.
They have improved their game on both ends of the court thanks to Finch’s plans and expert leadership.
