Minnesota Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch took a little jab at Denver Nuggets point Jamal Murray.
On Tuesday, Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert was hit with a $75,000 fine by the NBA for making a “money” gesture that the league believed “questions the integrity” of its officials. The Frenchman made the gesture during the Timberwolves’ Game 4 loss to Denver in the Western Conference semifinals ( video here).
During his press conference before Game 5, Finch was asked about Gobert’s fine. He condemned his player’s actions but also threw some shade Murray’s way.
“Obviously, you can’t be showing up the officials like that,” said Finch.
“But I’d like to see the itemized receipt. Because if it’s $75,000 for the money gesture, then it must be $10,000 for the towel and $15,000 for the heating pad? So it’s just kind of a little bit of a head-scratcher to us.”
