In the fourth quarter of the Rockets matchup with the Denver Nuggets, Dwight Howard ad Nuggets mascot, Rocky, decided it was a good time to get into a little argument/fight. Mascot-player beefs aren’t uncommon, but there was a two-point game in the middle of the fourth that was going on that NBA superstar Dwight Howard seemed to have forgotten about.
Howard ended up putting his shoe in Rocky’s face and giving him a slight kick. Rocky flopped back Ginobili style, but thankfully no mascots or players were hurt. The referee seemed to find the whole exchange pretty amusing.
