Watch: Dwight Howard dives into scorer's table to save ball

What's with the Atlanta Hawks falling into the first row tonight?

First it was head coach Mike Budenholzer, and now center Dwight Howard, as he kept the ball in play with a dive into the table.

Showing that type of effort in a meaningless preseason game should help the eight-time All-Star endear himself to the hometown fans. Then again, if Howard had gotten hurt, he may have been reamed out for putting himself at risk.
