Howard Return Proves Significant in Defeat of Nuggets

Dwight Howard returned to the Houston Rockets starting line-up after missing 11-games and made history in the process.

THE STARTERS

THE BENCH

It’s nice to have a guy this size on the bench who can step in to spell Howard or Motiejunas and not lose anything on the boards. He still has lapses in focus defensively but I like his energy. The hard foul on Faried sent a message to the entire Nugget team just because Dwight isn’t in the game don’t think you have a clear path through the paint.
