How to recover when Finder freezes?

E.g. when copying data from one location to your mac via SMB. You encounter a connection drop for whatever reason. Finder freezes and you get the spinning rainbow wheel. It stays there perpetually. Is there a way to recover from this situation other than pressing the power button to force the Mac to power off? Sorry, perhaps I'm a bit uninformed, but this "feature" is causing me to pull out my hair!!!

Hope you can offer some advice before I go bald!

Thanks a million!
