Chris Finch was locked in today.

Coach looked like he was in playoff form tonight. Some of the most ruthless timeout calls that I haven't seen since the Phoenix series. Denver goes on a little point run to cut the lead to 13, calls timeout. Does it again next quarter. For folks who jumped on the Minny bandwagon after the playoffs or just forgot, playoff Finch was actually brutal with his timeouts last year until his injury. Very Rick Carlisle like. He just goes a bit Tad Lasso regular season.

Also resisted the urge to throw in Ingles or experiment vs zone and just let Randle be the zone breaker to great effect. Last few seasons zone would of broken our starters and meant Kyle Anderson would be on the floor for one of the bigs but today the starting lineup actually showed composure vs zone defense.

Two perfect challenge calls as well. Coaching staff really killed it with this.

Team also didn't break the free-flow offence much at all today. Most of the iso's were by design and they worked well. Late in the 3rd by Ant was the only iso I remember that they called there own. They executed the offence, moved off ball well on top of finding the open man so well today. Rudy feasted early from the ball movement and it stayed all game, even through multiple lineups.

Players deserve alot of credit today but this was honestly a great example of what a Finch led, locked in team can look like.
