Orlando Magic’s Dwight Howard tries to keep calm despite constant smacking and hacking

First, there was Hack-a-Shaq.
Now, there’s Smack-a-Superman.
Teams are fouling Orlando Magic C Dwight Howard when he has the basketball near the basket and looks like he’s ready to shoot. Howard concedes that he sometimes fights frustration when teams employ the tactic.
“I think I’ve just got to play through it,” Howard said. “Coach, he allows guys to do the same thing in practice, so I’ve just got to get used to it. It’s tough, because you’ve got people hanging on you, pulling at you, slapping at you, whatever, the whole game. You try to stay calm, but sometimes you just want to react. But you’ve got to do what’s best for the team.”
Howard is shooting 50.7 percent from the free-throw line this preseason.
