The fan, 28-year-old Tristan Warkentin, said some pretty vulgar things directed at Steph Curry's wife following the Raptors' Game 2 loss to the Warriors.
Toronto police said they arrested the fan for criminal mischief as he knew that his vulgar comments were being aired on live television.
Warkentin has since apologized for the incident, calling his actions "disgraceful," adding that he was under the influence of alcohol but is "responsible for my own actions." He said he also plans to apologize to Ayesha Curry.

Though it's admirable that he's owning up to his actions, it's a shame that the words escaped his mouth in the first place.
Hopefully sideshow antics like this don't continue to plague the action surrounding what is shaping up to be a riveting series.
