WHO HACKED JR?

Steph has squat to say on

- BY STEFAN BONDY

CLEVELAND − Steph Curry says he did not pretend to use the bathroom on Cleveland’s court.

After Kevin Durant hit the goahead bucket in Game 3, Curry weirdly squatted and held that position for a moment − quickly drawing the attention of social media and leading to speculatio­n the MVP attempted one of the more impolite celebratio­ns in memory.

But Curry said it was just a spontaneou­sly random response and not intended to be lewd.

“No Randy Moss,” Curry said, referencin­g the time Moss pretend to pull down his pants to moon the crowd in Green Bay.

“I wish I could have a little bit more control over the reactions in certain situations. I really don’t know what I did last night,” Curry added. “Like I saw it, no, I saw it, I just − I don’t know what I was doing.

“I even dropped my mouthpiece because I was so uncoordina­ted.”

Here’s a new one from TwitterGon­e-Wrong files: JR Smith claims he was hacked but agrees with the hacker.

Only a few minutes following Thursday’s loss that put the Cavs in a 3-0 hole against the Warriors, Smith’s verified account tweeted, “Cavs in 7.”

“I was in the shower when the tweet went out,” Smith said. “But I believe it. I could see myself saying that, for sure, absolutely. I’m just glad (the hacker) did that instead of something dumb.”

Smith then made official what was on his Twitter account the night prior.

“Oh yeah, we’re coming back,” he said.

Smith has reasons to deny responsibi­lity for the harmless tweet. League rules stipulate players aren’t allowed to post on social media until the locker room has opened to the press. Asked why such a big deal has been made about the tweet, Smith responded Thursday, “A couple thousand bucks from the league, if they wanted to, I guess.”
