Steph Curry lost his cool as the Golden State Warriors lost Game 6 of the NBA Finals.
The reigning NBA MVP was held in check early after picking up two quick fouls, but finished with a team-high 30 points in a 115-101 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. But the point guard battled foul trouble all night, eventually picking up his sixth and final foul in the fourth quarter on a call he vehemently disagreed with.
Curry took out his signature mouthguard and threw it in disgust, accidentally hitting a Cavaliers fan who was sitting courtside square in the hand. The fan was waving goodbye to Curry.

Curry’s actions resulted in a technical foul, (Kyrie Irving hit the ensuing free throw), and the referee subsequently ejected him from the game.
