I Minnesota Timberwolves also won Race-4, inflicting on the Phoenix Suns a sweep that perhaps no one expected before the Playoffs. In a game in which the T’Wolves rallied in the second half, led by 40 points from an extraordinary Anthony Edwards, Minnesota lost a key player to injury: the coach. Due to a collision with Mike Conley, who was “pushed” off the court by contact with Devin Booker, Chris Finch had to come off the bench..

Finch has not returned to the bench since the clash and, according to Shams Charania, it is feared that the 54-year-old has suffered a hamstring patellar tendon injury. An injury that usually affects players.
Minnesota Timberwolves coach Chris Finch is feared to have a torn patellar tendon in his knee on late game collision during Game 4 win in Phoenix, sources say. Brutal.
