VIDEO: Terry's slick pass leads to Howard's vicious dunk

Dwight Howard's knee seems just fine, thank you.

The Houston Rockets center has been playing through a sprained left knee but said he was feeling better ahead of Saturday's pivotal Game 3 against the Golden State Warriors.

The early returns suggest he wasn't lying, with Howard throwing down emphatically early on. Early in the first quarter, Jason Terry beautifully redirected Howard's pass right back to him in the lane, giving Howard the opportunity to dunk all over Draymond Green and Andrew Bogut.

Just in case the two angles weren't enough to sell you on just how vicious a dunk this was, take a look at the still frame as Howard finishes:

Despite the knee injury, Dwight played phenomenally in Game 2, scoring 19 points and grabbing 17 rebounds. That shouldn't surprise anyone who's been following along in the playoffs, as a resurgent Howard has looked very much like his Orlando Magic self.

To wit, he opened Saturday's game with six points and seven rebounds in the first eight minutes of the game.
