The Golden State Warriors were once again rolled over by the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 6 of the NBA Finals and now there will be a Game 7 on Sunday night. However, the lasting image that will come from Game 6 is Stephen Curry having a meltdown on the court and firing his mouthguard into the crowd, where he struck a fan.
Curry would immediately apologize, but Twitter absolutely blew up over him losing his cool on the basketball court.
Look for Stephen Curry to get hit with a $25,000 fine for the mouthguard meltdown...

Anyone remember Stephen curry in 2011-2012? Didn't think so. He averaged 14.7 points a game. The KING averaged 27.1 that season

Needless to say, Curry’s mouthguard toss has everyone in the world fired up and now, the anticipation for Game 7 has never been higher. Either Cleveland will win and end their championship drought that has plagued the city or the Warriors will take care of business and finish of their record season with an NBA Championship.
The stakes have never been higher and the emotions on the court are going to be unreal. No mouthguards will be safe in this one. It all goes down on Sunday night, where a champion will emerge from the ashes.
