Stephen Curry got ejected from Game 6 of the NBA Finals and his wife Ayesha was not happy about it.

Game 6 was all Cleveland as LeBron James and company built a 20-point lead after the first quarter and cruised to an easy win to force a Game 7.

LeBron James had one if his best games of his NBA career and may have clinched the NBA Finals MVP regardless of what happens in Game 7.

But the unanimous MVP from the regular season had a full-blown meltdown in the fourth quarter as the game slipped further away from the Golden State Warriors.

Stephen Curry was unstoppable in the regular season as his team won an NBA record 73 games but he’s struggled for the most part in the Finals.

Late in the fourth, Curry picked up his sixth foul and fouled out. He was not happy about it and tossed his mouthguard in frustration and it landed in the stands. He was assessed a technical foul and was promptly ejected from the game, the first time he was ejected.

And his wife Ayesha Curry took to Twitter to voice her displeasure immediately after. She has since deleted the tweet after she got control of her emotions, but it lives forever with this screenshot.

In the heat of the moment, it’s easy to understand why Ayesha would feel that way. And I’m sure she is speaking for thousands and thousands of Warriors fans when she says what she said in that tweet.

It’s only going to set the stage for a dramatic Game 7 that could be one of the best in NBA Finals history.

Game 7 will be Sunday night from Golden State with tip-off shortly after 8 p.m. ET.
