Timberwolves Coach Chris Finch Admits to Feeling ‘Embarrassed’ After Leeds
In a candid post-game interview, Minnesota Timberwolves coach Chris Finch openly expressed his embarrassment following the team’s latest performance against Leeds. The match, which ended in a disappointing defeat for the Timberwolves, left Finch grappling with a mix of frustration and introspection.
“This one really stings,” Finch began, visibly disheartened. “We didn’t execute our game plan, and it showed. Quite frankly, I feel embarrassed by how we performed tonight.”
Finch, known for his straightforward and analytical approach, didn’t mince words about the team’s shortcomings. He highlighted several key areas where the Timberwolves fell short, including defensive lapses, poor shot selection, and a lack of cohesion on the court.
“Our defense was porous, and we allowed too many easy baskets,” Finch noted. “Offensively, we didn’t move the ball well, and our shot selection was far from ideal. We need to find our rhythm and play as a unit if we want to compete at a higher level.”
The loss to Leeds not only affected Finch but also sent ripples through the locker room. Players echoed their coach’s sentiments, acknowledging that their performance was not up to the mark. The sense of urgency to improve and rectify mistakes was palpable among the team.
Veteran guard Patrick Beverley commented, “We need to hold ourselves accountable. Coach Finch is right – this was not the Timberwolves basketball we know we’re capable of. We’ve got to come together and fix this.
