Minneapolis - Timberwolves coach Chris Finch said his team submitted clips from the league office, indicating that he believed it was a shocking contact with center Rudy Gobert in Minnesota's 99-88 game, and officials didn't call it.

"On the defensive rebounds, they did a lot of fouls, overturned, held, pushed and dealt with Rudy," Finch said after practice on Wednesday. "It's obvious. We sent these clips to the league. Actually, I'm not sure I knew another player in Rudy's pedigree and Rudy's pedigree was allowed to be beaten up on his appearance. So we have to solve this in a way."

Minnesota dominated the 51-41 glass, with Gobert catching 11 rebounds – the 24 board he owned dropped sharply when Timberwolves broke away from the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 5 of the first-round series on April 30.

Finch enumerates a sequence that is particularly disturbing as Gobert whistles during a foul in the second quarter, when the Warriors' Brandin Podziemski first "clearly catches him" while the Wolves' big man tries to get rid of the Golden State guards' control over him.

"We will definitely try to take justice into our own hands - I think it's the essence of a sport - but again, my god, you should see some of these clips," Finch said. "They look like they're shooting a shot at Rudy."

Minnesota was asked to 21 fouls in Game 1, while the Warriors had a 18 foul rule. (However, Wolves tried more free throws, 17-15.)

However, the complaint about the host is not unilateral.

Golden State coach Steve Kerr said the Warriors were upset and the Timberwolves defended Stephen Curry before the defender left the game with a nervous hamstring in the second quarter, which didn't have more fouls, which would keep him for at least a week. Kerr said he felt the Wolves grab and grab the curry ball in the first round to do what the Houston Rockets hired in the first round.

"I was upset in the first 10 minutes of the game, just like Houston," Kerr said Wednesday. "They were bear-hugging Steph and they could have called six fouls, but the league has established the physics in the playoffs. Chris talked about it last week, just the overall physics, to me it's crazy out there what's happening. Everybody's fouling each other. I just feel like (referees) have a really hard job because playoff basketball is physical and they're going to allow more, but I think they could have called a foul six, seven straight possessions with them guarding Steph.

"So I got complaints, too. Trust me. We all do that, and that's how it works in the playoffs. We looked at the videotapes, we saw all the fouls that didn't call. They looked at the videotapes, and they saw that all of us weren't called bodies.

Warriors players say they think they have much more physical health in their first round series against the very aggressive Rockets.

"I mean, it's the playoffs. I just have to rub it off from what I think the Rockets went through," Podziemski said. "What they're doing is similar to what we're doing right now. I don't know if the Lakers do that (in the first round) against the Timberwolves. It's the playoffs; you're trying to do everything you can to win. I mean, Rudy is probably taller than me, so what do you want me to do?"

In Tuesday's post-match commentary, Finch brought Wolves' franchise star guard Anthony Edwards to the mission as he lacked energy in the first game. One day later, Minnesota guard Donte Divincenzo said in Wolves' movie reviews of the game, "no one is safe" because the players are responsible for their disappointment.

These include Wolves guard Jaden McDaniels who expressed responsibility to himself rather than the referee with just four rebounds.

"They're working harder than we do," McDaniels said of the Warriors. "They're pushing and working hard, but if the referee doesn't call it, there's no foul. We just have to play it, don't worry about the referee, just play like we do to everyone."
