In a surprising turn of events, Minnesota Timberwolves coach Chris Finch was ejected during the third quarter of a game against the Phoenix Suns. The incident occurred after Finch received his second technical foul, seemingly out of nowhere, while conversing with official CJ Washington.

Following the call, an enraged Finch confronted Washington, prompting Timberwolves player Anthony Edwards to intervene and pull him back from escalating the situation further. It remains unclear what specifically triggered the technical foul, leaving fans and analysts puzzled. Assistant coach Micah Nori took over as the interim head coach for the remainder of the game.
