Houston Rockets center Dwight Howard delivered a playful kicked to the face of Denver Nuggets mascot Rocky during a timeout in Wednesday night's game at the Pepsi Center.
Rocky was playfully taunting Howard when the Rockets big man kicked him in the nose:
Given the delayed reaction in Rocky's fall, it's safe to say that he was not hurt.
Howard scored 24 points and grabbed 16 rebounds as the Rockets beat the Nuggets in overtime 115-111.
