The Lakers' Pau Gasol believes that Magic star Dwight Howard gets away with more physical play in Orlando.

"(Dwight Howard) is allowed to do physically a couple more things here at home," Gasol said after Tuesday night's Game 3.

Gasol was then asked by the Los Angeles Daily News if those "things" were too physical in his opinion.

"For my taste, yes," Gasol said. "I have no control, so it's a little bit unfortunate. There's nothing you can do about it. You just have to play through it and continue to compete."

Lakers coach Phil Jackson raised concern about Howard's physical play as well.

"We're obviously concerned about his physical contact out there," Jackson said. "We thought there were three or four occasions where there were offensive fouls."

Gasol appeared to backtrack a bit after his initial comments.

"What specifically is he doing? He's just playing hard and using his body, that's it," Gasol said of Howard. "You just have to play through it."
