Stephen Curry; Ime Udoka
Steph Curry lost his cool in the Warriors' loss to the Houston Rockets.
Things became tense as the two teams returned to their locker rooms at halftime on Sunday, April 6. As seen on the broadcast and in videos uploaded to X, Curry, 37, known for his cool temper on the court, was seen intensely exchanging words with Rockets head coach, Ime Udoka.
"There is a lot of talking, there is a lot of conversation," the Warriors broadcaster said as Curry and Udoka, 47, appeared to snap at each other.
After the Rockets defeated the Warriors by 10 points in a crucial game for Golden State's seeding, reporters asked the Warriors star and Rockets coach about their chirping. “He said something,” Udoka shared. “I said something. A little friendly banter," he added.

“I was talking to my team about the physicality," Udoka continued, telling media that "this is the type of game" his team likes to play. "When people start complaining about foul calls or crying about physicality, you've done your job. That's the first step in winning the battle. So I told my team, when this team starts crying about it, up the intensity, up the aggressiveness, and make the refs adjust to you.”

Curry, however, had a more sarcastic answer when reporters asked him about the interaction. “He made a reservation at International Smoke, and he canceled it,” the Warriors star joked, referring to his wife Ayesha Curry's restaurant, which has locations in San Francisco and Las Vegas.
The answer prompted Curry and Draymond Green to break into laughter.
“And so I was kind of upset with him," Curry, who struggled to score throughout the game, continued. "We went back and forth on that.”
