How Much Was Chris Finch Fined by NBA After Viral Ejection in Wolves' Win vs. Thunder?

Minnesota Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch's ejection during Friday's win over the Oklahoma City Thunder was a costly one.

The NBA announced Sunday it fined Finch $35,000 due to "inappropriate language toward game officials and failing to leave the court in a timely manner following his ejection."

Finch was ejected in the first quarter after he picked up two technical fouls.

The head coach was upset the Thunder were not called for fouls on multiple plays and let the officials know about it. It reached a point where he had to be restrained by assistants and team security.

But it was much appreciated by star Anthony Edwards:

Perhaps energized by the coach's outburst, the Timberwolves overcame an early double-digit deficit against the reigning champions for an impressive 112-107 victory. They outscored OKC 29-22 in the fourth quarter with the game on the line and gave the Western Conference's top seed just its third loss of the campaign.

Edwards' three-pointer with 38 seconds remaining gave the Timberwolves the lead for good, and Julius Randle and Jaden McDaniels hit clutch free throws to ice the win.

Six Minnesota players scored in double figures with Edwards leading the way with 26 points, 12 rebounds, three assists, three steals and two blocks. He did a little bit of everything and hit the biggest shot of the game to help overcome 35 points and seven assists from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.

Minnesota is 8-2 in the last 10 games and is starting to look like a contender in the Western Conference.

Its next measuring-stick contest against the Thunder will be Jan. 29, and Finch will be under the spotlight after his ejection and fine from Friday's matchup.
