Forward Nickeil Alexander-Walker said after the game that coach Finch, "woke up choosing violence" and added that he's been yelling at everybody. Anthony Edwards also commented on his ejection, saying, "I think he went to sleep last night with violence on his mind."
Finch was having what appeared to be a peaceful conversation with game official CJ Washington who prepared to hand the ball to Suns guard Bradley Beal to inbound. On a dime, Washington blew his whistle to assess Finch a technical foul, his second of the night after he picked up the first during the first quarter.
