Dwight Howard plays one-on-one against young Wizards fans (Video)

Houston Rockets center Dwight Howard kept himself busy during a "rain delay" at the Verizon Center in Washington by playing one-on-one with some young Washington Wizards fans that were sitting in the front row.

Due to the rain outside the arena, a leak in the roof caused two delays during the game, with one lasting for 35 minutes and another lasting for 22 minutes. Howard stayed loose by playing a little ball with the young fans. However, Howard didn't take it easy on them as he seem to enjoy rejecting their layup attempts.

After all was said and done, the Rockets beat the Wizards 114-107, prompting Wizards coach Randy Wittman to say after the game "Now I wish they would have just canceled it."
