In the middle of the second quarter, Hornets center Bismack Biyombo created a serious impact as he muscled his way for a big dunk.
Off a beautiful feed from Gerald Henderson, Biyombo went strong to the rim with the right hand.
Pacers reserve center Ian Mahinmi went straight up to challenge Biyombo, but it was to no avail as Biyombo was too powerful for the Pacers center to handle.
Unfortunately for Mahinmi, he ended up being put on a poster by the Hornets center.
The good news for the Pacers however, the team rolled through the Hornets as they try to grab one of the final spots in the playoffs in a race with several other teams.
Biyombo has been a solid defensive player for the Hornets since being drafted No. 7 overall in 2011. However, his game hasn’t taken off as much as the Hornets have hoped offensively.
Friday night, Biyombo showed that he has the ability to attack the hoop. Ian Mahinmi found out the hard way how powerful Biyombo really is.
