VIDEO: Rockets help Clippers by scoring on their own net

Regardless of the sport, there's really nothing worse than scoring on your own team's goal.
This inexcusable blunder occurred in front of the Staples Center crowd on Monday, as Houston Rockets big men Dwight Howard and Terrence Jones battled each other for the defensive rebound.
The duo - who average 16.8 rebounds between the two of them - failed to collect the loose ball, and watched it go through the wrong hoop.
Los Angeles Clippers backup forward Luc Mbah a Moute was credited with the points as he was the opponent standing closest to the mishap.
