For a guy who didn’t even play in the prevous game Monday against the Boston Celtics, Charlotte Hornets reserve center Roy Hibbert sure had a night.
Hibbert scored a season-high 16 points and even an attempted lob pass fell through the rim, as the Hornets broke a five-game losing streak with a 107-85 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers at Spectrum Center.

Hibbert was pushed into lengthy duty when starting center Cody Zeller got into foul trouble early in the second half.
