Houston Rockets center Dwight Howard dove across two rows of seats for a loose ball during the second quarter of Monday night's game against Portland.
The ball had already landed in the hands of a fan in the second row by the time Howard reached the sideline. Howard probably could have stopped himself, but he must have really wanted a hug.
The fan didn't seem to mind and hugged him right back.
Howard finished with 16 points and 13 rebounds as the Rockets beat the Trail Blazers 110-95.
