INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Roy Hibbert broke out of his playoff funk with a season-best 28 points and nine
rebounds, leading Indiana over Washington to tie the Eastern Conference semifinals at 1-1.
It was a stark contrast to Hibbert’s abysmal showing in Monday night’s loss — and most of this year’s
playoffs.
But after 48 hours of constant criticism and continual questions, Hibbert responded with the kind of game
Indiana desperately needed. He made his first four shots, dominated the middle and produced big basket
after big basket.
Game 3 is Friday in Washington.
Marcin Gortat had 21 points and Bradley Beal added 17 for the Wizards.
