Houston Rockets center Dwight Howard isn’t known for being one of the top passers in the NBA. This was highlighted even more after Thursday night’s action against the Golden State Warriors when he hit a woman right in the face on an errant pass.
In the middle of the fourth quarter, Howard attempted to pass the ball to Marcus Thornton but was just a bit off the mark (think “Just a bit outside” from the Major League movies).

The woman Howard hit in the face is the wife of Rusty Hardin, a Houston-based attorney with Rusty Hardin & Associates, P.C.
Thankfully it wasn’t an overly fast pass by Howard, because the ball hit her square in the nose.
The Warriors went on to win the game 114-110, improving their association-leading record to 30-2. Meanwhile, the loss dropped Houston to 16-18.
