Kerr took issue with three of the six fouls that were called on Curry in the game, even calling referee Jason Phillips out by name for the one that ended the night for the two-time reigning NBA MVP.
“As the MVP of the league, we’re talking about these touch fouls in the NBA Finals”. Curry said it was all borne of frustration in a game the Warriors might have lost in the first quarter, when they trailed 31-9.
Golden State lost 115-101, bringing about a Game 7 in Oakland.
LeBron James added to the Warriors woes with an MVP-like performance as he collected 41 points, 11 assists and eight rebounds. Tensions grew when his mouth piece hit Andrew Forbes, son of Cavaliers Minority Owner Nate Forbes.
Curry’s wife Ayesha was rightly upset that her dad was the victim of what she termed racial profiling.
One person who definitely took the loss to heart was the point guard’s wife Ayesha Curry, who believed game six was rigged.
Kerr said that while Cleveland deserved to win the game, the fouls should never have been called.
Overall, it was a rough game for the Warriors, who were down by double digits for most of the game, ultimately losing to the Cleveland Cavaliers once again. “I got edgy at that moment as every player do” Stephen Curry pronounced after he received his penalty.
There’s no doubt the drama of the NBA’s two biggest stars, Curry and James, and the thrill of a record-setting comeback or a repeat champion has captivated USA sports fans at a profitable pace for telecasters. He was later ejected after fouling out, throwing his mouthpiece and hitting a fan in the stands with it.
A scintillating performance by James and another physical game by Cleveland appeared to be too much for the unanimous MVP. I won’t be silent.
According to ESPN, an National Basketball Association official said arena security checked the credentials of her father because they thought he looked like a con man known for sneaking into major sporting events.

Later, perhaps realizing the harshness and negative attention her tweet attracted, Ayesha deleted the tweet and then tweeted her reasons for the initial tweet and apologized.
