Game 6 of the NBA Finals didn't end well for Stephen Curry, who was ejected after throwing his mouthpiece into the stands at the end of the Golden State Warriors' loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Thursday night was also difficult for Curry's wife Ayesha, who complained before the game that family members of the Warriors players were not being allowed into the arena in Cleveland, and then tweeted after the game that her father was treated unfairly by law enforcement.

Curry also tweeted that her cousin wasn't allowed into a local casino because he was wearing Warriors colors -- and during the game, she seemed to support ex-referee Tim Donaghy's claim that the NBA is, to a certain extent, fixed. (She later deleted the tweet.)

Game 7 of the NBA Finals will take place on the Warriors' home court in Oakland on Sunday night.
