Wolves fire Ryan Saunders in his third season as coach; hire Toronto assistant Chris Finch

The Timberwolves fired coach Ryan Saunders on Sunday night after the team fell to an NBA-worst 7-24 following a 103-99 loss at New York.

The Wolves will replace Saunders with Toronto assistant coach Chris Finch, a league source told the Star Tribune.

Saunders, the son of former Wolves coach Flip Saunders, went 43-94 as Wolves coach. He took over for the final 42 games of the 2018-19 season for the fired Tom Thibodeau — who now coaches the Knicks.
