Houston, we have a problem.

This isn’t exactly what you want to do in a close game of basketball. The Houston Rockets, in trying to rebound the ball, accidentally scored on themselves in a game against the Los Angeles Clippers.

You can see J.J. Redick go to the rim for a layup. He spins right around Dwight Howard and scoops up a shot. Then Howard and Terrence Jones go for the rebound at the same time, and Jones seemingly taps the ball back in to the basket. The best part is that Redick thought it was going in all along, and clearly turns away before the tip in. That, or that Howard looks completely bewildered as he gets set to inbound the ball.
