Dwight Howard has said that the leaking roof at the Washington Wizards' Verizon Center made for the "craziest game ever".
Play had to be stopped twice between the Wizards and the Houston Rockets as water fell from the ceiling onto the court.
The Rockets center told reporters: "The craziest game ever? Yeah, I would say that.
"I did okay. I think in the second half I didn't finish like I needed to. I wasn't as aggressive as I was in the first half.
"I've got to work on my defense if I want to get defensive player of the year."
Howard has averaged 17.9 points per game so far this season.
