Fouls played some role but Hibbert was simply ineffective against a big Hawks' frontcourt, and he was benched in the second half. He's scored single-digit points (or zero points) in six of the past nine games, and he racked up at least four fouls in the past five games before committing three fouls in 21 minutes tonight. There's a lot to work on. He declined to comment after the game for the first time in his five-year career, so we'll keep an eye on him over the next few days on the off chance that there's more to the story.
