Chris Finch, Wolves Remain Optimistic Following Disastrous Loss

Despite losing such a crucial game in that fashion, Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch stayed optimistic about his team.

"I have every confidence that we'll be able to bounce back," Finch said postgame. "We got good guys, they'll shake it off. We've had some tough losses before in the season."

Tuesday's loss dropped the Timberwolves to 46-33, sitting at the No. 8 spot in the Western Conference.

With just three games remaining in the regular season, these next few games will determine whether or not the team is in the play-in or avoids it and sneaks into the top six.

Despite remaining optimistic, Anthony Edwards is well aware of how significant the loss was and how important the next couple of games are.

"We're good, I mean it's apart of the game," Edwards said. "Of course we didn't want to lose but (we) can't be in bad spirits because we know we need to win next game."

Minnesota will attempt to put this loss behind them and bounce back in another crucial game on Thursday -- as they face the 47-32 Memphis Grizzlies, who they are currently just one game behind.

The team can still win out and reach 50 wins on the season with games against Memphis, the Brooklyn Nets, and Utah Jazz remaining.
