Jason Collins allowed Dwight Howard to score 46 points in Game 1.

“I try to frustrate him and do what I can to get under his skin,” Collins said.

Based on his conversations with Howard during the game, Collins said he thinks he accomplished his goal. In the second half Howard was called for a foul after he head-butted Collins, though Howard said the blow wasn't intentional.

“He pulled me back,” Howard said. “Of course I am going to fly back. But he should get an Academy Award.”

Collins said he won't change his tactics when he's one-on-one against Howard.

“He doesn't like physical play,” Collins said. “He likes to spin off, get lobs and get dunks. Like most players that like to score, he doesn't like getting hit. So our job is to hit him and be physical with him.”
