It was a rough Thursday night for Steph Curry and his Golden State Warriors in Game Six of the NBA Finals. The Warriors' star point guard fouled out of the game in the fourth quarter. Then, he was ejected for the first time in his professional career after arguing a call and throwing his mouthpiece into the crowd at Quicken Loans Arena, striking a Cavaliers fan in the face.

Steph was not the only Curry who was upset with the referees in Game 6. Steph's wife, Ayesha Curry, took to Twitter accusing the NBA of rigging the game.

Complex.com reported that Ayesha removed the tweet after it received tens of thousands of strong responses and retweets. This prompted Ayesha to send out another tweet apologizing.

Marc J. Spears of ESPN's The Undefeated reportedly spoke with an NBA official who confirmed the initial claim. Spears reported that the NBA was on high alert for notorious con artist David Aminzadeh and mistakenly identified Ayesha's father as that man.

Spears asked Steph for a comment, and he seemed to share the same thoughts as his wife:

They kind of profiled my father-in-law and thought he was him. They threatened to arrest him before they checked out his credentials. It's kind of been an emotional and tough night all the way around.

Steph went on to say that it was "kind of a tough situation to deal with in a hostile environment," and added, "all in all, it's just a game. I hope that everybody is all right."
