Maybe it was just an honest question. But we doubt it.
Stephen Curry’s wife, Ayesha, dropped a simple four-word tweet late Monday night after the Cleveland Cavaliers defeated her husband’s Golden State Warriors 112-97 in Game 5 of the NBA Finals. It seemed to suggest that the officiating wasn’t up to her standards.
Can refs get fined?

It should be noted that the Warriors were called for 21 personal fouls, whereas the Cavaliers were whistled for 22. Golden State even shot three more free throws (26) than Cleveland did (23).
Perhaps this is why Ayesha Curry took some heat following her sassy tweet. But to her credit, she refrained from diving into any wars of words, unlike Dwyane Wade’s wife, Gabrielle Union, who went bonkers on Twitter over the NBA’s officiating earlier this postseason.
It's amazing how quick you all are to call me out of my name and wish pain on my family and I've never used one obscenity or foul word back.
