Finch is by far the most successful coach in the history of these star-crossed Timberwolves, who've had only three of their 14 coaches even make the playoffs. They've made it in each of his four full seasons and now reached back-to-back conference finals for the first time in franchise history.

Edwards predicted a year ago that Minnesota would make it back to the West finals. The Wolves dispatched the Warriors to prove him right.
