The Cleveland Cavaliers jumped out to a 31-11 lead on the Golden State Warriors after one quarter in Game 6 Thursday night, but the defending champions battled back before falling apart in the fourth quarter. Stephen Curry fouled out of a game for the first time of his career and erupted on the court, throwing his mouthguard (which hit a fan) before yelling at officials, who assessed Curry a technical and ejected him.

Current and former NBA players across the league watching the game were going just as crazy as the fans in the arena.

On Curry's ejection/the officiating in Game 6:

I think Steph will be suspended for Game 7. #NbaFinals

Saw the replay, Steph will obviously be fined but won't be suspended. #Game7 #NbaFinals

Doesn't matter who wins this series...there has NEVER been a player who impacts more facets of the game at the highest level than @KingJames
