Steph Curry missed a dunk in last night's game against the Los Angeles Lakers because of "Thanksgiving reasons." During the second quarter of the Golden State Warriors' 105-89 rout over the Lakers, Curry stole the ball and sprinted to the other side of the court for an uncontested basket. With no one standing in his way, Steph decided to try going up for the slam, but the ball rattled around the rim and out of the hoop, much to the delight of the Staples Center crowd.

And much to the dismay of Warriors head coach Steve Kerr.

Following the game, Curry hopped on Twitter to try and explain why his dunk attempt came up short. 

This is completely plausible. Did you see how his wife Ayesha went off on Thanksgiving?

What?! 

Are you kidding me?! 

We would miss a dunk too, after a feast like that.
