Dwight Howard believes he's found a formula to defend centers who can shoot the ball, such as Brook Lopez.

"He's one of the bigs who can really shoot the ball," Howard said Thursday. "He's a big body. The thing with him is you have to move him, run him, beat him up and down the floor and be aggressive. By doing all that stuff on the offensive end and pressuring him on the defensive end usually he gets tired a little bit faster than a lot of people. So, you take advantage of that."
