Minnesota Timberwolves coach Chris Finch cracked the code—at least temporarily—on slowing down OKC’s superstar Shai Gilgeous-Alexander in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals. After Gilgeous-Alexander torched them earlier, Finch adjusted his defensive approach, and it paid off enough to keep the series competitive. The Wolves aren’t out of the woods yet, but this tweak might give them a fighting chance.
Editor’s Note: Playoff basketball is all about adjustments, and Finch’s strategy shift shows how coaches scramble to counter unstoppable players like Gilgeous-Alexander. If Minnesota can sustain this, the series could get a lot more interesting—fans love seeing underdog tactics actually work.
