Wizards’ DeJuan Blair ends Hornets’ Brian Roberts with screen (Video)
Washington Wizards’ center DeJuan Blair absolutely destroyed the Charlotte Hornets’ guard
The Washington Wizards dropped a division game on the road against the Charlotte Hornets Thursday night after a terrible offensive output in the fourth quarter did them in. With the Wizards trying to rally in the fourth, center DeJuan Blair gave it his all by setting a monster of a screen as John Wall dribbled the ball up the court.

Unfortunately for the Hornets’ Brian Roberts, he didn’t see the 270-pound behemoth setting a screen.
Roberts trying to trap Wall with full-court pressure turned around right into the brick wall that is Blair and took a hit like an NFL player right on the hardwood.
It looks as painful as it sounds too.
Roberts’ body instantly snaps back from the head-on collision as his full speed momentum carried him straight into DeJuan Blair.
Roberts would leave the game momentarily to get checked out and luckily only had some contusions. He was able to return to the floor after the vicious, yet legal, shot by Blair.
Roberts had 12 second-half points, which were monumental in the Hornets victory over Washington.
He might just end up being a little sore for the next couple of days.
