'Sticky' Timberwolves offense looks to get unglued in Game 3

Some people can't stand the word moist.

The sound of it or even the writing of it on a page can produce a visceral reaction that crawls across someone's face and won't fade for at least a few minutes. It might be happening to you right now.

There's a word that's similar for the Timberwolves offense — sticky.

That's the term coach Chris Finch has used when the Wolves offense stagnates. The ball gets sticky. Players hold onto it too long. There's too much isolation and the Wolves aren't as efficient as a result.

Finch used that word a lot more earlier in the season as the Wolves were trying to find their offensive footing.
