Remember when the Warriors beat the Rockets 112-92 last Friday night?

Remember in the first quarter when Harrison Barnes caught the ball on the right wing, jab-stepped and drove middle on Trevor Ariza?

Do you remember what happened next?

Barnes elevated towards the rim and Dwight Howard attempted to block his shot.

Howard failed and the Warriors' bench (along with social media) erupted.

"That one is definitely going to go in the memory vault," Barnes said on KNBR 680-AM Thursday night. "That will be up there as one of my favorites."

The Warriors play the Rockets again on Dec. 31 (in Houston) and Barnes wants to enjoy his New Year's Eve.

He doesn't want to possibly get hurt if he decides to soar to the rim again.

"I might have to shoot a floater the next time we play Houston," Barnes joked. "He (Howard) might try to lay me out if I try that again (laughing). But that was a lot of fun."

Unless your name is Dwight Howard.
