Dwight Howard: "We're playing great"

Dwight Howard has said that the Houston Rockets are "playing great" after thrashing the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA last night.

The Rockets beat the center's former team 134-108 to extend their winning streak to eight games.

The 28-year-old told reporters: "We're always going to have fun when we're playing basketball. We love what we're doing. We're playing great, and we just want to have as much fun as possible.

"The Lakers have always found a way to get back to the top, and they will one day. But I can't focus on the Lakers. My focus is on the Rockets and what we're trying to accomplish."

The Rockets are in action again tonight against the Golden State Warriors.
