In a chippy back and forth game between a pair of Western Conference rivals that included technical and a flagrant one fouls for Draymond Green, Steph Curry was seen getting into an exchange with Houston Rockets head coach Ime Udoka. As the first half came to a close, Curry and Udoka appeared to exchange words as the Rockets and Golden State Warriors exited the court.

After the game, Curry was asked about the seemingly intense back-and-forth with the Rockets' head coach. The All-Star point guard jokingly explained he was upset that Udoka canceled a reservation at his wife's restaurant in San Francisco, International Smoke.
He made a reservation at International Smoke, and he canceled it. And so I was kind of upset with him. We went back and forth on that.

Udoka and the Rockets got the final word, dealing the Warriors a 106-96 loss to snap their five-game win streak. Along with handing the Warriors a defeat, the Rockets held Curry to his second lowest scoring performance of the season with only three points on 1-of-10 shooting from the field.
