Steve Kerr was critical of the officiating after the Golden State Warriors' 115-101 Game 6 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Kerr was asked about whether his team lost their composure but he immediately shifted the attention to the refereeing. 

"Well, that had nothing to do with the outcome," said Kerr. "The outcome was decided. But he had every right to be upset. He's the MVP of the league. He gets six fouls called on him, three of them were absolutely ridiculous. He steals the ball from Kyrie clean at one point. LeBron flops on the last one. Jason Phillips falls for that, for a flop. As the MVP of the league, we're talking about these touch fouls in the NBA Finals.

"Let me be clear, we did not lose because of the officiating. They totally outplayed us and Cleveland deserved to win. But those three of the six fouls were incredibly inappropriate calls for anybody, much less the MVP of the league."

Kerr was then asked if he was okay with Stephen Curry throwing his mouthpiece.

"Yeah, I'm happy he threw his mouthpiece. He should be upset. Look, it's The Finals and everybody's competing out there. There are fouls on every play. It's a physical game. I just think that Steph Curry and Klay Thompson, the way we run our offense, we're running, we're cutting through the lane, we're a rhythm offense. If they're going to let Cleveland grab and hold these guys constantly on their cuts and then you're going to call these ticky-tack fouls on the MVP of the league to foul him out, I don't agree with that."
