Curry and Barton had to be separated in the final quarter when things got heated at Moda Center on Thursday.
The Trail Blazers went on to set up a Western Conference semi-final decider with a 119-108 victory.
Curry claimed Barton was to blame for their altercation.
“He waited for a few people to get in between us, and when a few people were in between us, he put his finger in my eye,” Curry said.
“You know what I’m saying. I can’t allow people to put their fingers in my eye.
“That’s real sassy. They got a few sassy dudes over there. Front-runners. And we can’t allow that.”
Nuggets forward Barton gave a different account of the incident.
“He fell right into my knees, look at the replay. I was trying to protect myself. Curry came over and gave me a little push, I gave him a little push back and that was it,” said Barton.
“We probably said some stuff, I don’t remember everything in the heat of the moment.”
