Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni wants Dwight Howard on the floor late in games, and he's willing to try his luck if the opposition goes into Hack-a-Dwight mode.
"I'm not talking Dwight out," D'Antoni told the LA Times. "He's too valuable.

"He'll make his foul shots. I've got faith in him. If everybody plays hard and if that's how we go down, then we'll go down that way."
Howard is converting just 48.3 percent of his free throws, third worst in the league behind Andre Drummond (36.5) and DeAndre Jordan (41.1) among players with at least 100 attempts.
