The Golden State Warriors picked an inopportune time to have their worst night of the season.
The defending champs had a complete meltdown Thursday in a 115-101 Game 6 loss in Cleveland, and both Stephen Curry and Steve Kerr were each fined $25,000 by the NBA for their actions.
Curry lost it when called for his sixth foul, angrily tossing his mouthpiece and hitting a Cavs fan with it.

Kerr criticized the refs with an eye towards Sunday’s Game 7—Ayesha Curry was not disciplined for her written tirades, as far as we know.
