Dwight Howard knew what the Boston Celtics had planned. Whenever he got the ball in the post, someone was going to hit him, bump him, push him, do whatever it took to keep him from getting into rhythm.
It wasn't a new approach.
The Celtics simply do it better than just about everyone else.
Howard made only 3 of his 10 shots from the floor Sunday, continuing what's been a yearlong offensive struggle against the Celtics, and his Orlando Magic lost Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals to Boston 92-88.
"I played like a robot," Howard said.
He doesn't have long for reprogramming. Game 2 is Tuesday night.
