Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry faced an unexpected critic after his team’s Game 6 loss to the Houston Rockets—his own son, Canon Curry. The young Curry hilariously shunned his dad when Stephen tried to console him following the 115-107 defeat, a moment that quickly went viral on social media.

Canon Curry’s reaction steals the spotlight

The Golden State Warriors’ loss clearly hit Canon Curry hard. Cameras caught the visibly upset boy clinging to family members in the stands, refusing to acknowledge his father’s attempts to comfort him. Stephen Curry, who led the team with 29 points, reminded his son that the series wasn’t over yet, but Canon Curry’s disappointment was unmistakable.

The heartwarming yet funny interaction resonated with fans, sparking a wave of reactions online. Many related to the pure, unfiltered emotions of a child invested in his dad’s performance.

Golden State Warriors fall short despite Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler’s efforts

Golden State Warriors’ loss forces a decisive Game 7 on Sunday, with the team now facing elimination. Despite strong performances from Curry and Jimmy Butler, who combined for 56 points, the Warriors collapsed in the fourth quarter. Missed shots and defensive lapses allowed the Rockets to pull away, with Houston’s Fred VanVleet delivering a clutch 29-point performance, including 19 in the second half.
Veteran Draymond Green didn’t mince words about the team’s struggles. “We started off the fourth quarter with a two-point game and we gave up a four-point play,” Green told ESPN. “It’s just like, you lose the life, you know?” He also acknowledged VanVleet’s dominance, admitting, “He’s getting what he wants to get to. Somehow, you’ve got to break that up. He’s too comfortable.”

All eyes on Warriors vs Rockets Game 7

The pressure is now on Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors to bounce back in Game 7. Another loss wouldn’t just end their playoff run—it might also mean more cold shoulders from Canon at home.
