after serving his suspension, green returned to play in game 6. game 6 was played on june 16, exactly one year after golden state won game 6 of the 2015 nba finals, which was also played in cleveland. unlike in the 2015 nba finals, however, the warriors failed to clinch the title in game 6. the warriors were outscored 11–31 by the cavaliers in the first quarter, and cleveland never relinquished their lead as golden state lost 101–115. this was only the second time in 105 games this season (regular-season and postseason) that the warriors lost at least two games in a row. the loss evened the series at three games apiece, forcing a game 7, the first game 7 in an nba finals appearance in golden state franchise history. during the fourth quarter of game 6, stephen curry, who set the record for most three-pointers in an nba finals series during the game (28), fouled out with his sixth personal foul. curry angrily responded by throwing his mouthguard into the stands and hit a fan, which resulted in a technical foul and the first ejection of his career. it was the first time in 20 years that a player had been ejected from an nba finals game. after the game, curry received a $25,000 fine for his actions, but was not suspended for game 7. warriors head coach steve kerr also received a $25,000 fine for his criticism of the officiating, which he felt was biased against curry, in the post-game press conference.
