Dwight Howard throws down a monster jam over two Warriors (Video)
Just a few minutes into Game 3 against the Golden State Warriors, Dwight Howard threw down a monster jam over two defenders, showing his knees are fine.
The Houston Rockets are in a big hole as Game 3 is underway against the Golden State Warriors. Everything seems to be hinged on the health of Dwight Howard and his ever-aching knee.
The big man has been limited a bit in the series because of his knee issues, playing just 26 minutes and scoring only seven points in Game 1. Houston finds itself in an 0-2 hole with Game 3 at home and Howard needs to play big if the Rockets want a shot at victory.
Dwight has gotten off to quite the scorching start in the third game of the series against the No. 1 team in the league, scoring six points and grabbing seven rebounds in the first eight minutes of the contest.
No basket in the game thus far has been quite as big as Howard’s monster jam over two Golden State defenders just four minutes into the contest.

Now that’s how you make an exclamation point. Howard has been hearing it from critics all series who have called him weak for missing some time and posing as questionable before each game because of his knee issue.
It looks like he’s pretty healthy here, however, as he took the give and go down the lane to dunk over Andrew Bogut and Draymond Green, making them look a little silly.
Dwight is pretty dominant when he’s healthy, folks.
