The Warriors suffered a shock 111-110 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies this evening, but that wasn’t the full story.
Tensions reached boiling point in the final few seconds of the fourth quarter with both Steph Curry and Kevin Durant being ejected.
With just 43 seconds left in the fourth quarter, the Warriors were trailing by eight points when all hope of a late comeback dissipated.
Clearly agitated by earlier decisions from the officials, Curry ended up throwing his mouthpiece in the direction of the referee after expecting a foul call as he drove to the basket.
And there was no hesitation from the referee to eject the two-time MVP from the arena.
Durant swiftly followed him to the changing rooms for yelling at the officials but not before letting the booing crowd he has won a championship ring.
Curry could face a suspension for his actions, but Warriors head coach Kerr tried to make light of the situation in his post-match interview.
“I think he should be suspended eight, maybe 10 games,” Kerr said sarcastically.
“It was egregious. It was awful.
“It was a danger to thousands of people in the stands.”
