Timberwolves HC Chris Finch shockingly ejected 6 minutes into Thunder showdown

The Minnesota Timberwolves didn’t even halfway through the first quarter before everything changed. In a heated showdown with the Oklahoma City Thunder, Chris Finch was ejected just six minutes into the game after losing patience with the officials. The Timberwolves absorbed early contact with no calls, and frustration built fast. When Anthony Edwards attacked the rim and missed while screaming for a foul, Finch stepped in. He drew the officials’ attention, picked up one technical, then a second, and was gone.
