I am not a fan of the “Hack-a-Whoever”, but there are times that it works. Especially with someone as emotionally fragile as Dwight Howard.
Howard went 5-16 from the Free Throw line (missed 7 in the 4th quarter) and that allowed Steve Blake to have an opportunity to hit the game winning three.
How scared was Dwight of going to the free throw line? Check out this GIF from SB Nation, courtesy of the Sports Grid.
