Henson’s Game of the Season

Henson hit the trifecta with the Brooklyn Nets, possibly having three of his best games all year. Firstly, he hit a game winner via tip-in off of a Jabari Parker power drive.

While the game winner is certainly nice, Henson’s best statistical games came later in the year in back-to-back games against those same Brooklyn Nets. On December 1, Henson ended up with a stat line of 12 points, eight rebounds, and a season-high five blocks. Not to be outdone he came back December 3 and tied a season-high with 20 points, seven rebounds, and two blocks.

This is the version of Henson that Bucks fans have long dreamed of seeing consistently, so thanks to Brooklyn for making Henson look great. Who is in favor of adding Brooklyn for a few more games next year? Judging by his performancesMatthew Dellavedova would also approve.

In the three games Henson played against the Nets in just over 24 minutes per game he put up 13 points, nine rebounds, three blocks, and two assists. He even shot 84.6 percent from the free throw line, well done sir, well done.
