Chris Finch's media availability following shootaround was wrapping up Monday before the Timberwolves coach took a moment to add one more thing.
"I know today is the anniversary of Flip Saunders' passing," Finch said. "It's always a tough day for the organization. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and we know what he meant to this team here."
Monday marked six years since the death of Saunders, the longtime Wolves coach and former president, to complications from Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Finch's path in the NBA never crossed with Saunders', but Finch said he admired the success Saunders had with the Wolves and the legacy he left in the sport and the state.
