Roy Hibbert has said that experience helped the Indiana Pacers secure a win over the Philadelphia 76ers last night.
The center was the team's top scorer during the 106-98 victory, adding 27 points and 13 rebounds for the Eastern Conference leaders.
The 26-year-old told the team's official website: "We're an experienced team. We don't worry. We know we can finish games.
"Paul [George has] been playing great. He's a closer, he's a starter, finisher, everything. Some nights other people are going to carry the load a little bit, just to make sure he can do it himself. Tonight was one of those nights."
Head coach Frank Vogel added: "Happy to see Roy Hibbert dominate on both ends of the floor. He's been dominant defensively all year, and when we need him to step up on the offensive end, he does. Big effort by him."
The Pacers host the Minnesota Timberwolves tomorrow.
