"Indiana Pacers Roy Hibbert knew what the medical staff at the Staples Center wanted him to do.

Hibbert didn't want to follow their advice, though.

The only thing Hibbert could think about was getting back on the court to help his teammates overcome their double-digit deficit to the Los Angeles Lakers.

Hibbert, with cotton stuffed in his broken nose, returned to the game and was the best player on the court during the final 22 minutes he played.

Hibbert used his scoring and passing skills to help the Pacers beat the Lakers 98-96 on Sunday."
