Are you not entertained?
What began as a blowout ended in a really messy situation that felt built for social media. For most of the game, the Warriors were getting their asses handed to them by LeBron James and the Bronettes. Then Steph Curry and the boys went on a run towards the end of the third quarter to cut a 20-point lead to single digits in the beginning of the fourth. However, Golden State's momentum was thwarted by two bullshit calls. The first came when a foul was called after Steph picked Kyrie Irving's pocket with nothing but open floor ahead of him. The second came when James flopped (per usual) as he and Curry fought for the ball, sending the 2016 MVP into a mouthpiece-throwing frenzy.

Said thrown mouthpiece hit a fan who happened to be the son of minority Cavs owner Nate Forbes. If you watch the clip, homie had it coming. He was demonstrative towards Steph and ended up catching a hot one in the grill.
We took screenshots of the whole affair to provide the in-depth analysis the culture deserves. We try to do God's work as much as possible over here at Complex. Check out our frame-by-frame breakdown of Steph Curry throwing his mouthpiece and hitting the son of a Cleveland Cavalier owner.
And It Begins…
Klay Thompson misses what would be his third missed free throw of the game. Little did he know this miss would unleash the gates of hell.
Steph Sizing the Ball Up
Steph plotting like a puma ready to pounce.
Tries to Take LeBron's Cookies
He had the glass of milk waiting and everything.
Gimmie
You can't be afraid of bullies and Steph knows that.
That
LeBron already thinking about how he's going to flop.
You Little Bi…
LeBron is thinking: "Should I act like I got pushed or punched?"
Almost
"Nevermind." - LeBron
LeBron Should Play Soccer
"OK, going to act as if I got shot, that always works." - LeBron
LeBron Is Ridiculous
Seriously.
The Rich Kid Syndrome Begins to Kick In

The Outrage, the Horror
One of the worst calls in NBA Finals history.
Steph Knew What He Was Doing
He was sizing dude up for a good 10 seconds now.
“I'm Going to Hit This Dude”
Steph thought he was playing dodgeball.
Steph Should Try Out for the A's
The ref is licking his chops at this point.
Right Down Broadway
"Broad, broad, broader that broadwayyyy!!!" In my best Barrington Levy voice.
Shut Yo Ass Up
Hol' dat.
When You See It
Rub it on your chest.
Cavs Getting Ready to Snitch
Snapple Fact: FBI headquarters resides in Quicken Loans Arena
See, Look At Them Snitching
Look at Tristan.
Everybody T'ing Steph Up
You gotta go, bro.
Boy, Bye
Kindly leave, sir.
“I Want An Apology, Dammit!”
"Hey, my dad is an owner. I will not stand for this kind of treatment."
“Hey!”
"I said, hey!"
Adulting
Steph should've Stone Cold Stunned him, tbh.
The Walk of Shame
This picture looks like it was taken at Wrestlemania.
