Dwight Howard bent the rim on a dunk in the Lakers-Trail Blazers game and NBA fans had jokes

Dwight Howard dunked so hard they had to fix the rim.

The Los Angeles Lakers currently have their hands full during Game 1 of their first-round series with the Portland Trail Blazers but both teams got a short break in the second quarter when Dwight Howard did some damage to the basket after a powerful two-handed dunk.

Howard didn’t pull a Shaq and break the whole backboard but his dunk did tilt the rim and basket enough that a crew had to come out and fix the hoop, which is something we haven’t seen in quite some time.

Check out this dunk from Howard that brought the game to a halt for a few minutes:

LeBron James and Co. took a close look at the hoop and saw it was tilted down a bit:
