It was obvious that Anthony Edwards felt his head coach was way off base immediately following Minnesota’s win Monday over Atlanta. Chris Finch heavily criticized his team’s “totally unacceptable” second-half performance with public comments and the message delivered to the locker room in the immediate aftermath.

Finch was having what appeared to be a peaceful conversation with game official CJ Washington who prepared to hand the ball to Suns guard Bradley Beal to inbound. On a dime, Washington blew his whistle to assess Finch a technical foul, his second of the night after he picked up the first during the first quarter.
