HI
Yes, they're two different things but occasionally done at the same time
Possibly you could use "aggravate"...
- Why did he criticise her dress?
- She didn't talk to him at the party last night, so he was trying to aggravate her
For something idiomatic, possibly the phrase is "up the ante". But I don't know enough about cards to be sure of this
