VIDEOS: Dwight Howard having a block party in Houston

The Los Angeles Clippers are playing without Chris Paul in Game 1 against the Houston Rockets, so you're in charge, Blake Griffin.
Dwight Howard however, is quick to reject that notion, swatting Griffin's six-foot floater off the glass. It was Howard's 16th blocked shot of this postseason; he was averaging three per game coming into Game 1.
L.A. center DeAndre Jordan is a Houston native, and has an old-school Astros logo tattoo to prove it. In the second quarter however, Howard didn't exactly welcome him home.
