I do think you're right and this is probably a press-fuelled nothing story. Curry was very low key about it (briefly mentioned it to the ref and wouldn't talk about it after the game) and it's most likely there's no-one in the wrong, aside from those responsible in the press and the social media morons abusing everyone involved.

The shaking hands thing I got from the news reports so I can't be sure on that point.
