With just over 4 minutes remaining in the 4th quarter, Cavs were in full control with a lead of 13 points. Curry went for a drive, faked the layup, but LeBron guessed it and sent him packing, blocking his layup attempt. Then he let him knew about it.
That was some message sending if there ever was any. James looked back at Curry after the block and reminded him whose house it was. Even though Curry was the first unanimous MVP in the history of the NBA, LeBron let him knew that he was still the best player in the world. This was one of the most entertaining moments in this rivalry and it clearly showed that LeBron had gotten into the head of the Warriors.
Just seconds later, Curry got called for his 6th foul of the game as he went for a steal from LeBron. Curry, obviously frustrated with the proceeding of the game, threw his mouthpiece at a fan and got ejected for the first time in his career.
Although Curry ended the game with 30 points, the Cavs were able to dominate over the Warriors and were able to force a Game 7 which they ended up winning.
