As unlikely as it is that Curry takes home the award in a losing effort, it's not impossible. There is no rule stating that it has to go to a player on the winning team -- it's essentially just tradition.
It certainly wouldn't be the first time that Curry did the unthinkable. It would, however, be Curry's first Finals MVP.
