There was a surprising person in attendance for Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals in Atlanta on Sunday night.
Dwight Howard was seen sitting in the front row for the playoff game between the Hawks and Milwaukee Bucks.

What’s odd is that Howard was attending a game for the team that eliminated his Philadelphia 76ers. But Howard is from Atlanta and was treating the fans well.
How many players in the NBA get bounced in a 7th game and then go watch the team that bounced 'em in the next round.

Howard, 35, averaged 7.0 points, 8.4 rebounds and 0.9 blocks per game for the Sixers this season. But his team lost in seven games to the Hawks in a tight series in the conference semis.
Some players tune out after their team is eliminated from the postseason. That wasn’t the case for Howard.
