Minnesota Timberwolves Coach Blames Lack of Composure for Game 1 Loss to Dallas Mavericks

Posted : 23 May 2024

Minnesota Timberwolves coach Chris Finch pinpointed "no composure" as the crucial factor in his team's 108-105 loss to the Dallas Mavericks in Game 1 of the Western Conference finals. The Wolves faltered in the final frame, committing five turnovers, which allowed the Mavs to outscore them 10-3 in the last 3 minutes and 37 seconds, erasing Minnesota's four-point lead.

 

Finch emphasized the team's struggles in closing quarters and halves in recent games, which also affected their performance in critical moments against Denver. The Wolves' late-game mistakes negated their earlier efforts, including a 13-1 run in the fourth quarter that had given them a four-point lead.

 

Despite Jaden McDaniels' team-high 24 points, the Wolves were unable to capitalize on crucial opportunities, such as offensive rebounds turning into Mavs points and missed free throws. Veteran Mike Conley's missed free throw in the closing seconds further highlighted the team's inability to execute under pressure, indicating areas for improvement as the series progresses.
