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.

Keeping Edwards moving forward is Finch’s most important duty as Minnesota’s head coach, and he’s good at it. The Timberwolves, specifically Edwards, are significantly better for it.
