Changing and denying shots, John Henson protecting paint for Bucks

John Henson took it personally that the 76ers scored 32 points in the paint during the first half of the Milwaukee Bucks' game in Philadelphia on Monday night.

Though Henson was in the game for less than eight minutes before halftime, 10 of those points came on his watch. So when the Bucks' 6-foot-11 backup center returned to the game late in the third quarter, he made sure things went differently.

Philadelphia went just 4 for 15 in the paint over Henson's 12-minute stint spanning the third and fourth quarters. In the final period alone, Henson had five blocks, altered others and scored five of his seven points as the Bucks ran away for a 107-97 win in what had been a close game.
