Emotions were high for the Warriors in their 111-101 loss to the Grizzlies Saturday. They were so elevated that Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant were both ejected in the final minute.
Curry might be facing a suspension after he tossed his mouthpiece toward an official when no foul was called as he drove to the hoop for a layup. Curry was immediately ejected.

Curry would attempt to clarify the situation after the game.
“I didn’t throw my mouthpiece at the ref," he told ESPN. "I got better aim than that. I threw it out of frustration."
As for Durant, who was tossed for yelling at the refs, he made sure the booing Grizzlies crowd remembered he has a championship ring.
