There were three technical fouls given to each team, plus one flagrant foul on Jalen Green when he struck Draymond Green in the face, during Game 2. There was also a scuffle at midcourt during the fourth quarter, which saw Rockets forward Tari Eason throw a towel at Warriors reserve Pat Spencer.

But Curry, after making 12-of-23 shots in Game 3, for 36 points, warmed up on the Chase Center floor before Game 4 and simply could not miss. The league's X account posted, "54 SECONDS OF STEPH JUMPERS. NO CUTS. NO MISSES."

The Twyman-Stokes award is given to a player deemed ‘the best teammate based on selfless play, on- and off-court leadership as a mentor and role model to other NBA players, and commitment and dedication to team,’ according to a press release sent out by the team. Curry was one of 12 candidates for the award.
