The role that Dwight Howard now plays for the Lakers is not the part he played in years past when he was the central character. He gets the ball to the guards and he waits for his opportunities and he’s basically been great in that role. “Every night I try to play physical, and sometimes I get penalized for being too physical,” Howard said. “I think tonight was my least physical night, to be honest with you.”Howard checked out of the game for good with 4:46 left, having done his job. He had taken one unwise three-pointer, but all was forgiven because Howard played the rest of his new role the right way.
