Dwight Howard gets 7th technical, would miss Game 6
By Mike Dyce
Dwight Howard got his 7th technical of the NBA Playoffs and will miss Game 6 if the Rockets were to win.
Houston Rockets center Dwight Howard and Golden State Warriors big man Andrew Bogut got into it in the second quarter of Game 5. There was some pushing and shoving that resulted in both men getting technicals.
For Howard, that is his 7th technical of the playoffs. That means he has reached the threshold and if the Rockets were to win, Howard would miss Game 6 serving a one-game suspension.
Howard will be suspended for game if there is one. unless it's rescinded. Which It might be.

Dwight Howard just got a technical (double technical with Bogut). Howard will be suspended for Game 6.

That would be a huge blow to the Rockets who would be looking to tie the series and force a Game 7 in Game 6.
But that seems unlikely to some…
There's no way NBA can rescind Howard's T after no Flagrant 2. So he has to be out for a Game 7 (or next season's opener) right?
