Roy Hibbert has said that he has struggled for "consistency" with the Indiana Pacers during the 2013-14 NBA season.

The center led the team with a season-high 28 points during their 86-82 win over the Washington Wizards last night.

He told reporters: "I just want to string a few games together. Consistency hasn't been my biggest friend this year. I'm going to try to continue to play aggressive and I'm going to try to control the things I can control.

"I can't control play calls, but I can control how hard I play, how fast I run down the court and how well I play defense.

"David [West] always talks to me about being the person that rescues yourself when you're in the middle of the ocean. There's nobody who can throw a lifesaver or a rope out to help you. So I had to do it myself."

The win levels their Eastern Conference semi-final.
