PHOENIX – There's a fiery nature inside Timberwolves coach Chris Finch that he can often suppress when he speaks to the media before and after games. Players say it can come out in practices, but in public, Finch usually doles out praise and criticism of his team in the same even-keeled, mild manner.
But that fire came out a bit after the Wolves' Game 3 victory over the Suns on Friday night when Finch was asked how this group of players has seemingly put decades of franchise futility behind it as it approached the first playoff series victory for the Wolves since 2004.
