Patrick Beverley's penchant for burning bridges with former teams continued Friday as he made a jab at Wolves coach Chris Finch after the Bucks won at Target Center.

Beverley, who was traded to the Bucks from the Philadelphia 76ers earlier this month, appeared to take a sleight from the way Finch left the court after the 112-107 defeat.

"Coach finch walks off don’t even say a word. Sore loser. Belt 2 A$$," Beverley tweeted Friday night.

He explained it further by saying Finch spoke to him after the Wolves beat the Bucks in Milwaukee earlier this month.

"They beat us earlier. He was the first 2 say hello. Keep the same energy," he said.

Beverley has previously expressed some animosity towards Finch over the way he was traded to the Utah Jazz in 2022 as part of a huge package for Rudy Gobert.

On his podcast a few months later, Beverley has said he was unhappy that the call initially informing him he was being traded didn't come from Finch.

"When I get the call for the trade, I feel like the call should've came from the coach," he said. "That's where my anger came from. Not eight hours later or seven hours later when the dust is starting to clear.

"I feel like 'Pat, I don't know what the f---'s going on, I hear you about to be traded, I love you to death, I wanted you to hear it from me first, click, that's all I needed," said Beverley.

During his time in Minnesota Beverley became a firm fan favorite and was responsible for a viral moment during the Wolves' play-in win over the Clippers when he leapt on a table to celebrate with the crowd.
