Minnesota Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch says he sent the NBA clips of Golden State Warriors players fouling Rudy Gobert on the boards during Tuesday's Game 1 of the 2025 Eastern Conference semifinals. "On defensive rebounding, they do a lot of fouling, holding, shoving, pushing, tackling Rudy. That's clear," Finch told reporters on Wednesday.

The Golden State Warriors are apparently playing football and not basketball when facing the Minnesota Timberwolves, according to Wolves coach Chris Finch.

At Timberwolves practice on Wednesday, the team held a film session, typical times of blunt assessments of how the team performed — no sugarcoating, no dancing around the main issues. That was especially true after the Wolves underwhelmed in a 99-88 loss to the Warriors in Game 1 of their Western Conference semifinal series Tuesday at Target Center.
