DENVER – NBA arenas aren't the easiest places for people to get around if they are limited in their mobility. There are ramps, steps and scaffolding in the way, and it's something Timberwolves coach Chris Finch is finding out as he coaches this Western Conference second-round series shortly after undergoing patellar tendon surgery in his right knee.
Before Game 1, Finch climbed up a few steps to take his seat at a pregame news conference, and he was careful to walk toward reporters Sunday after the Wolves' practice. But Finch is making it work, as he did Saturday night when he sat just behind the bench while assistant Micah Nori was the standing coach on the sideline for the Wolves' Game 1 win over the Denver Nuggets.
