Following an uneven few months, the Minnesota Timberwolves (27-21) might be finding their footing in the Western Conference. They matched a season-best four-game winning streak with Wednesday’s road victory versus the Phoenix Suns and surpassed it in Thursday’s 138-113 win against the Utah Jazz (10-36).

Minnesota Timberwolves HC Chris Finch was on one on Wednesday. The fifth-year veteran coach earned his first-ever career ejection in a game that saw the Timberwolves defeat the Phoenix Suns 121-113.

Apparently, Finch came into the day hot. His emotion was a carryover from one heck of a film session he had with the team Wednesday. “He woke up choosing violence,” said Nickeil Alexander-Walker, who had a season high 23 points.

It sucks,” Randle said. “I guess we’ll never know what could’ve been. I think the more unfortunate part is everything was a build, a constant build — I feel like all our teams overachieved year

Karl-Anthony Towns and Rudy Gobert took time to develop chemistry before things blossomed last season. Halfway through this year, what have you thought of the new adjustments with Julius Randle,

Chris Finch and Jaden McDaniels were both ejected from the Timberwolves' win at the Phoenix Suns Wednesday night.

Randle played a secondary role in the Timberwolves’ 116-99 win, taking a backseat in the spotlight as Anthony Edwards dazzled with 36 points, 13 rebounds and seven assists.

Friday night marked Randle’s first game back at Madison Square Garden since the Knicks traded him and Donte DiVincenzo to the Minnesota Timberwolves in the three-team blockbuster that brought center Karl-Anthony Towns to New York.

Julius Randle marked his return to Madison Square Garden with a quiet game. But his impact was felt in the Minnesota Timberwolves’ 116-99 rout of his former team, the New York Knicks, on Friday night (Saturday Manila time).

With the February 6 NBA trade deadline quickly approaching, it certainly appears that Julius Randle isn't going to be dealt. The latest evidence to support that notion comes from longtime Minnesota sports insider Darren Wolfson.

Minnesota coach Chris Finch didn't see the end of his team's game in Phoenix on Wednesday night, but he certainly had to like what transpired after he was ejected.
