VIDEO: Lawson lobs to Howard for powerful left-handed finish

Nelson Chenault / USA TODAY Sports

Despite losing to the previously winless Brooklyn Nets, the Houston Rockets did produce a highlight-worthy play or two on Wednesday night.

Just before halftime, Rockets floor general Ty Lawson targeted teammate Dwight Howard rolling toward the basket, with the big man perfectly positioned for an alley-oop.

Never one to turn down a prime assist opportunity - Lawson has averaged 6.6 dimes throughout his seven-year career - his lob hung above the rim as Howard guided it gracefully, and then forcefully, through the goal.

The Nets improved their regular season record to 1-7, while the Rockets fell to 4-4.
