VIDEO: Roy Hibbert helps Tristan Thompson grab an offensive rebound

Indiana Pacers center Roy Hibbert has a reputation for being a bad rebounder. That's unfair.

Hibbert may not rack up strong individual rebounding numbers, but Indiana consistently grabs a higher share of rebounds when he is on the court. He does that by diligently boxing out.

Hibbert took boxing out to a whole other level Friday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He completely eliminates Timofey Mozgov from the play, though it comes at the cost of snagging a rebound that pings him in the back - which turns into an offensive rebound for Tristan Thompson.
