May 22, 2024; Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA; Minnesota Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch speaks in a press conference after the game against the Dallas Mavericks during game one of the western conference finals for the 2024 NBA playoffs at Target Center.

At issue was a brutal second half in which the Timberwolves were outscored 49-40 by the zombie Hawks, who were missing Trae Young, Jalen Johnson, Dyson Daniels and Bogdan Bogdanović. The Wolves still needed to play Rudy Gobert 38 minutes, Anthony Edwards 35 and Mike Conley 31 to ensure they finished off the Hawks.

A remarkable recent growth in offensive efficiency exhibited by Ant, Naz and McDaniels offers hope for the season.

Twice this season they’ve beaten Denver. Minnesota has been stellar offensively on both occasions. It all stems from Edwards. Denver simply doesn’t have an answer for the guard. The Nuggets don’t have a premier perimeter defender to deter Edwards, nor do they have a rim protector to make him think twice about being aggressive.
