Curry battled foul trouble the entire game, drawing his fifth with nearly 10 minutes remaining and finally fouling out with 4:22 left and then getting a technical for throwing his mouth piece and yelling at an official.

Fans attending Thursday’s Game 6 will receive a black t-shirt instead of the traditional wine and gold that have been handed out at each of the last nine home playoff games.
Cleveland’s goal, of course, is to make sure history doesn’t repeat for the second straight year.
Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr answers questions before practice for Game 6 of the NBA basketball Finals, Wednesday, June 15, 2016, in Cleveland.
I will stick to my thoughts before the series and take the Warriors to close the series tonight. As I told them a year ago, there’s a reason we all pour champagne on each other’s heads when we win. I don’t know how he fell and all of that. We move on. It was Game 5.
“We’re not going to go in trying to make him pick up a technical foul or a flagrant foul”. Guard J.R. Smith had 20 points on just 13 shots in their previous home win during the series. He walked very gingerly as he left the arena Monday night.
Iguodala is your best bet against James.
The app is available in pretty much any way you can want it. It’s not every play that you’re close to that line. It’s a world-eating offensive lineup that might even be better on the other side of the ball. “So for us, it’s just about coming out with that aggressive mindset, pushing in transition, and getting easy opportunities that we can take advantage of”. Draymond Green also has three fouls, as does Kevin Love for the Cavs. And he had an emphatic rejection of Curry that was the exclamation point on the night. Golden State is still the better team even without injured center Andre Bogut, but the Cavs are playing with inspiring belief and passion.
The Warriors, after going 1 for 9 from 3-point range to start the game, regrouped. The Cavaliers will play the Golden State Warriors Thursday.
“I didn’t think I fouled either Kyrie or LeBron”, said Curry, recounting fouls No. 5 and 6. “We just didn’t have it in us today”. Hes too big of a piece to our puzzle..
“It’s LeBron being LeBron”, said Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue. “You guys trying to raise my blood pressure over some t-shirts”.
The wife of NBA MVP Steph Curry has apologised for her Twitter rant following Golden State’s game six loss to the Cavaliers in Cleveland. He’s guarding perimeter guys. Or will the Cavs force a Game 7? “We have to go out there and win the game and put in great effort”. “That’s all that matters”.
Green said “it was one of the weirdest days of my life” when he was not able to play in Game 5.
“I think I’ve got to come out and play my game regardless”, Green said. I remember all the championship celebrations that I was lucky enough to enjoy as a player. “I owe it to my teammates to come back and give it all that I have”.
Golden State Warriors center Andrew Bogut will miss the remainder of the NBA Finals against the Cleveland Cavaliers due to a left knee injury.
The Warriors look dazed from the big punch delivered early.

“We’ll reevaluate it in a month”, Bogut said.
