DENVER -- Minnesota Timberwolves coach Chris Finch handed his crutches to a team staffer, grabbed a wobbly railing, and walked up two steps onto the podium in the Ball Arena interview room before plopping down in a chair ahead of Game 1 of the conference semifinals between the Wolves and Nuggets on Saturday.
"All right, that's easy," Finch said with a chuckle.
Finch underwent surgery Wednesday to repair a ruptured patellar tendon in his right knee. He suffered the injury last week, colliding with Minnesota point guard Mike Conley in Game 4 of the Wolves' first round sweep of the Phoenix Suns.
