Warriors head coach Steve Kerr was in full support of his star man, saying that he was glad that Curry threw his mouthpiece and criticised the officials for “ticky-tack” fouls against his team.
“I’ve thrown my mouthpiece before”.
Golden State guard Stephen Curry lost his cool in the Warriors’ 115-101 Game 6 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers Thursday.
Game 7 takes place on Sunday evening at the Oracle Arena in Oakland.
Ayesha Curry followed up her angry tweet about the officiating with these two tweets, including one that said her father was the victim of racial profiling.
James has scored 41 points in the past two games, continuing a trend of bailing his team out in its darkest hour.
“If you started the season in October and said you’d be home for Game 7 with a chance to win the NBA Finals”, Curry said, “you’ve got to love that kind of opportunity, regardless of how it happened”. The regular season you have a couple of bad games and nobody notices. LeBron (James) flops on the last one. “They totally outplayed us and Cleveland deserved to win”, Kerr said.
A tweet that users wont let her forget.
As Curry’s frustration was boiling over, James-who had been the unquestioned best player in the world before Curry’s rise over the past two years-had completely taken over the game, first with his pinpoint precision as a passer and later with his scoring. Steph lost it, flung his mouthpiece into the crowd-it hit a fan-and barked on a referee-who ejected him-before regaining his composure and walking off the court uneventfully.
Cavaliers forward LeBron James posted 41 points, 11 assists and 8 rebounds to catapult Cleveland to victory in Game 6. “So it got the best of me, but I’ll be all right for the next game”.
She quickly tweeted her frustrations shortly after in the incident and claimed that she thought the National Basketball Association officials were trying to fix the result of the game. He steals the ball from Kyrie [Irving] clean, at one point, LeBron flops on the last one.
The ejection-which will undoubtedly draw Curry a fine, but nearly certainly nothing more with Game 7 on the horizon-also took place after James made a huge block on Curry, which brought the crowd at the Quicken Loans Arena to life again.
“Let me be clear, we did not lose because of the officiating”, the coach said.
“I won’t be silent”.
Earlier, he’d picked up the peel from the banana he’d eaten while in the locker room following his ejection in the fourth quarter of Game 6 in the NBA Finals and walked toward a garbage can. “Just saw it live sry”, she wrote in a since deleted tweet, obtained by Fox Sports.

For the third game in a row, the Cavaliers were the enforcers, setting the physical tempo and playing at a breakneck pace even Golden State couldn’t match.
