Dwight Howard's Game 3 analysis: 'I saw quit from everybody in the arena'
Dwight Howard is calling everyone out after the Houston Rockets were destroyed in Game 3.
Battling through knee soreness, the Rockets center stepped up for his team with a double-double, but his 14 points and 14 rebounds weren't enough to stave off the dominant Golden State Warriors on Saturday.
With Houston on the verge of elimination, Howard expressed his disappointment in both his team and the home crowd.
"I saw quit from everybody in the arena," Howard said. "We can't have that."
But the Rockets know how to battle back from a deficit. Houston was trailing 3-1 to the Los Angeles Clippers in the Western Conference Semifinals, but pushed the series to seven games and ultimately a victory.
Howard said Saturday night that he's ready to fight, and he hopes his team will do the same.
"We've been through too many battles for it to end like tonight," he said. "We can't quit on each other."
