Timberwolves coach Chris Finch didn't want to take guard Jordan McLaughlin off the floor in Tuesday's 129-114 win over the Warriors, he said he ended up leaving McLaughlin out there for 18 straight minutes.
"Which is probably not very responsible," Finch deadpanned after the game.
McLaughlin has earned playing time over his three seasons with the Wolves because of how effectively he can run the offense in spurts. He stayed on the floor Tuesday because of his defense.
When Finch was asked after the game what impressed him most about the Wolves' defense, he said, without hesitation, McLaughlin.
