Dwight Howard Threatens Instigating Fan During Rockets’ Loss to Clippers

The Los Angeles Clippers are one win away from eliminating the Houston Rockets out of the NBA Playoffs. The Clippers destroyed the Rockets 128-95 last night to take a 3 games to 1 lead in the series, and they have been the most impressive team in the second round of the NBA postseason. On the other hand, Houston's Dwight Howard has been far from dominant, and he only scored seven points in yesterday's blowout loss. As frustrating as it must be to get your ass kicked in the playoffs, players are taught to restrain themselves from getting involved with fans. Howard must have missed the memo as he challenged a fan to "come out here." Since the video was captured via Instagram, the fan, S. Sami described the incident as being threatened by the Rockets' big man. We do not know what the fan said to get that kind of response from Howard, but he probably made a wise decision to stay in his $1,000 courtside seat and not try and fight Superman.
