The Washington Wizards were already getting blown out late in the fourth quarter of Wednesday’s 133-109 loss to the Charlotte Hornets.
Then Hornets center Dwight Howard rubbed it in further.
Howard sank two free throws with four minutes left and proceeded to laugh at Wizards coach Scott Brooks and the Wizards bench.
Moments before, Brooks selected Howard, a notoriously poor free throw shooter, to re-enter the game to take the attempts after Michael Carter Williams was ejected.
Howard blew a kiss in the Wizards direction and walked-off the court with a crass gesture.
Dwight Howard had another monster double-double to help Charlotte give the Wizards the business but best believe he’s about to get a hefty fine for hitting 2 FTs & giving ’em multiple Cassells afterward pic.twitter.com/mB4eAR4YEQ

MCW unable to attempt free throws in blowout, so Scott Brooks chooses Dwight Howard and makes him come back onto court to shoot
Dwight drains both, does Cassell big balls dance, blows Brooks a kiss 💀#PettyWarz pic.twitter.com/qPhV6jdlVp
The Wizards allowed a season-high in points, leading a steamed Brooks to vow “we have to change some things” moving forward.
