Not long after the Timberwolves had lost to yet another NBA bottom-feeder — this time 121-113 to a Charlotte Hornets team that came into the Target Center Friday with the fourth-worst record in the league — coach Chris Finch was asked why.
Why were the Hornets allowed to shoot 55%, get to the free-throw line 22 times and score 72 points in the first half? Why did the Wolves, finally back into the game late, find it so difficult to score while being out-scored 14-4 over the final 4 minutes?
Why does this team have such a hard time beating bad teams?
