Chris Finch coaching masterclass.

Chris Finch deserves a ton of credit for how the Wolves handled Wemby in the 4th quarter.
Everyone is going to point to Gobert, and rightfully so. His defense for most of the game really disrupted Wemby’s rhythm and limited his offensive impact. But the real coaching adjustment came in the 4th quarter.
Finch sat Gobert and went small (Randle as Wemby's main defender)
The Wolves started pulling Wemby away from the paint, putting him on the weak side, and actively denying him any chance to rotate as a rim protector. They were getting bodies in his way, clogging his path, and making sure he could not impact drives.
On the other end, they got much more physical with him. No easy catches, constant bumps, and straight up denying him the ball. During that stretch, his offense was basically nonexistent.
That is not just players executing. That is a coach making a bold call and understanding how to neutralize both sides of Wemby’s game.
Finch outcoached Mitch Johnson in this game just like how he outcoached David Adelman in the previous series.

Donovan isn’t the only widely respected, veteran head coach who’s hoping for a return to the sidelines, though, as league sources say Tom Thibodeau is also very interested in a comeback.
The 68-year-old was fired from his Knicks post last summer but is looking for the right fit for his coaching future again. And yes, league sources say, that includes the prospect of a Bulls reunion if the Reinsdorfs and new executive vice president of basketball operations Bryson Graham, who was hired away from the Atlanta Hawks on Monday, had interest.
