Even though Los Angeles Lakers center Dwight Howard believes the $35,000 fine he received for his flagrant foul on the Denver Nuggets’ Kenneth Faried was exorbitant, he vows to curb his frustration to stop plays like that from occurring in the future.

“I got to do a better job of keeping my composure and not getting frustrated and also remember that I’m playing for my teammates at all times and stay on the right path,” Howard said after the Lakers’ shootaround Friday in advance of their game against the Portland Trailblazers.
