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.

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:
