We have some bad news for the Western Conference: Dwight Howard has looked good in the opening round of the playoffs.
Like, really good. As in, Orlando Magic-era good.
It appears the time off to heal his knee has paid off, as Howard has looked energized, spry and explosive through three games against the Dallas Mavericks, leading the Houston Rockets to a likely sweep.
On Sunday, Howard kicked off Game 4 by finishing a ridiculous one-handed alley-oop from Jason Terry:
Howard entered Game 4 averaging 17.3 points and 14.3 rebounds on 58.8-percent shooting in the series and promptly scored 10 points on 5-of-5 from the floor in the game's opening nine minutes.
