After the conclusion of the Golden State Warriors’ Game 6 playoff loss to the Houston Rockets on Friday, Steph Curry’s 6-year-old son, Canon Curry, heartbreakingly refused to talk to his dad after the defeat.
The Warriors blew the chance to advance in the postseason at home against the Rockets, sending the teams back to Texas for a winner-take-all Game 7.
Canon was sat in the front row of the bleachers with his mother, Ayesha Curry, when Steph passed them before heading to the locker room.
Steph went from dynamite shooter to father in an instant, seeing his son was upset.
Canon, upon seeing his father, goes into his mother’s arms to be consoled for around a dozen seconds before picking his head up, with Steph on the edge of the barrier keeping fans from players at Oracle Arena.
Steph and Canon exchange a few words before the 6-year-old goes back into his mom’s arms distraught. The Team USA star walks away, knowing he will have another chance to talk with his son at home.

Steph and Ayesha have four children – sisters Riley and Ryan, and a younger son, Caius.
Game 7 between the teams is scheduled for Sunday night. The teams also met in a Game 7 in Houston seven years ago, in the Western Conference Finals.
Curry led the Warriors to victory that night before sweeping the LeBron James-led Cavaliers to win an NBA title.
Golden State had a 3-1 series lead over Houston before losing the last two games and handing the Rockets home-court advantage for the win-or-go-home contest.
Canon watched his dad score 29 points in the heart-wrenching loss, with him likely watching Game 7 from home instead of traveling to Texas.
