In December, Finch was named the Western Conference Coach of the month for October and November.

Under Finch's guidance, the Timberwolves have a 35-15 record this season and are tied for the best 50-game start to a season in franchise history.

Finch is in his fourth season as head coach for the Timberwolves, leading them to 139 total wins throughout his tenure so far — the second Timberwolves coach to achieve 100 or more victories.
