Finch said Brothers ignored his timeout call for about three seconds with 5:12 left in Minnesota's 115-108 home defeat to San Antonio on Friday.
He said the referee confronted him twice during the fourth-quarter stoppage before players and staff, including Naz Reid, Bones Hyland and Pablo Prigioni, intervened.
The Spurs took a 2-1 series lead behind Victor Wembanyama's 39 points, 15 rebounds and five blocks, handing Minnesota its first home loss of these playoffs before Game 4 on Sunday.
