Minnesota Timberwolves coach Chris Finch voiced frustration with officiating on Monday. He spoke before a game against the Denver Nuggets. Finch specifically mentioned Jamal Murray’s 16 free throws in Game 1.
He highlighted a perceived leaguewide trend of offensive players exaggerating contact. Finch suggested scorers flail to draw foul calls while driving. He compared the situation to a famous movie scene.
Finch said, ‘Maybe we gotta start flopping a little bit more.’ He referenced the movie ‘The Untouchables’ in his comments. The coach made these remarks during his pregame media session.
His comments came after the Denver Nuggets won the first game. The game took place on April 20, 2026. Anthony Slater reported the story for ESPN.
