Kevin Garnett Headbutts Dwight Howard, Gets Ejected

Kevin Garnett and Dwight Howard got into a little fight after Garnett headbutted the Rockets center.

Things got a little testy in Houston this evening as Kevin Garnett and Dwight Howard grappled under the rim for a rebound. The referees blew the play dead, but Garnett and Howard continued shoving each other. Things escalated when Garnett threw the ball at Howard, and the Rockets big man shoved Garnett away, to which the veteran lunatic responded with a headbutt to the face. Dwight didn't take too kindly to that, so he swiped back at him, hitting him in the throat. Then Garnett went a little nuts.

He danced around doing a sort of "Oooh, I wish I could get my hands on him" pantomime and then even tried to get at Howard again by sneaking around the scrum of players, coaches, and referees that had formed on the court. The game was delayed for some time as the referees tried to sort everything out. Garnett was eventually ejected, while Howard was assessed a technical foul.
