Klay Thompson also weighed on Curry’s foul mouth. He joked that he hoped Riley, Curry’s daughter, didn’t see her father swear.

Curry struggled to find a groove in the first two games of the Rockets series. That drew him a lot of criticism on social media, which naturally amplified the fervor within him. Hence, it’s no wonder Curry dropped the F-bomb following his spectacular performance.
