SAN ANTONIO – One of the defining characteristics of Timberwolves coach Chris Finch is he treats each player on the roster with the same demeanor. He tries to hold each player accountable, regardless of their salary or how much they've accomplished in their careers.
That's also a trait of the Spurs' Gregg Popovich, who set the NBA all-time record for most wins by a coach on Friday with 1,336, passing Don Nelson.
"It's incredible, the standard of excellence he's maintained here no matter the team, no matter the circumstances, they always play hard, always play the right way, they always battle you," Finch said.
