LOS ANGELES, Jan. 23 (UPI) -- Roy Hibbert overcame a broken nose to score 18 points Sunday and boost the Indiana Pacers to a 98-96 decision over the Los Angeles Lakers.

Hibbert wore a mask in the second after sustaining the injury, but it didn't slow him down as the Pacers fought back from an early 13-point deficit to hang a third straight loss on the Lakers.

Five other Indiana players scored in double figures, including Danny Granger with 16 points and David West with 15.

Paul George added 13, Darren Collison contributed 12 and Tyler Hansbrough came off the bench for 11 in the Pacers' victory.

Kobe Bryant netted 33 points for the Lakers.
