Howard had 20 points and 13 rebounds as the Rockets handed the Lakers their ninth loss in 10 games, 113-99.

Dwight Howard and the Rockets played host to his former team, the LA Lakers, Wednesday night.

His girlfriend, Christine Vest, had a special sweatshirt made for the occassion.

And this being 2014, she showed it off on Instagram before the game. See how it says Laker-Hater on the front?
