Tempers flared in Game 6 of the NBA Finals, as Ayesha Curry, wife of Stephen Curry, took to her Twitter account and ranted that the league had allegedly rigged the Finals for ratings.

"I've lost all respect sorry this is absolutely rigged for money... Or ratings in not sure which. I won't be silent. Just saw it live sry," Ayesha (@ayeshacurry) tweeted.

She later on deleted her tweet, according to Variety.

Stephen Curry, who had received his second MVP award this year, was slapped with his sixth foul after grabbing Lebron James in the fourth quarter.

Out of frustration, he threw his mouth piece to the stands, hitting a fan at courtside. This prompted referees to eject him from Game 6 of the NBA Finals.

Curry approached the fan and apologized, as home court fans showered him with boos.

The Golden State Warriors lost to the Cleveland Cavaliers, 115-101.

Warriors management had expressed frustration over the decision of league officials to suspend its forward Draymond Green after he committed a flagrant foul against Lebron James in Game 4.

Cleveland would go on to win Game 5, which pulled in 20 million viewers for ABC.

In the meantime, LeBron James scored 41 points, and posted 11 rebounds and 8 assists in their Game 6 NBA Finals win against the Warriors, according to Oregon Live.

It was the second time in a row that James had scored 41 points, who along with Kyrie Irving had led Cleveland to its recent back-to-back wins. 

James scored 27 of his game-high 41 points on 10 of 17 in the game's second half.

Stephen Curry, on the other hand, scored 30 for the Warriors before he was ejected from the game after committing his sixth foul against James. Clay Thompson scored a game high 37 points.

Golden State only shot 40 percent (33 of 82), while Cleveland shot better at 50 percent during Game 6 of the NBA Finals.
