March Madness may have begun yesterday, but the most excitement last night somehow wound up coming from a matchup between the almost certainly not playoff-bound Bucks and what remained of the very injured Memphis Grizzlies. And not because of Giannis, who almost nabbed another triple-double (15 points, 11 assists and six rebounds). And not because of a startlingly good performance by the typically woeful bench, who remarkably locked down the game in crunch time. 

Instead, all the headlines belong to a guy who finished the night with three points – and four blocks, one of which so thunderous it almost turned the NBA game into a WWE match.

As the game wound down, things starting getting testy between Bucks forward John Henson – who had earned himself a technical and a flagrant 1 call earlier in the quarter with a hard foul – and Grizzlies forward Matt Barnes. The two kept jawing back and forth at one another as the Bucks pulled away near the end of the fourth, and there was a sense the powder keg might blow. With the final few seconds ticking away, however, it seemed the game would end with the bomb defused.

And then this happened:

For those unable to watch those videos, with about five seconds left in the game, Henson obliterated Barnes' shot like it was Schwanke-Kasten's credibility with black people and mean-mugged Barnes hard enough to earn his second technical and ejection – and then mean-mugged all the way off the court while egging on the crowd and tossing his jersey to the fans. Barnes shortly after was also ejected – and then ran down the tunnel, assumably after Henson, to the locker rooms with several security guards, a few coaches and Jabari Parker following after. 

It was an awesome, triumphant moment of ownage – made only more karmically satisfying by Barnes' history of goonish behavior on and, more disturbingly, off the court. 

It doesn't appear that an actual fracas broke out in the locker rooms; some early tweets noted Henson's face had some scrapes on it, but those were picked up during the game and visible well before things went delightfully nuclear. According to reports, however, it wasn't for lack of trying.

The Bucks also won, 96-86, with Tyler Ennis and Damien Inglis both scoring in the double-digits. So all in all, a fun weird night.

As much as it is a gigantic cliché to say that one has always had a passion for film, Matt Mueller has always had a passion for film. Whether it was bringing in the latest movie reviews for his first grade show-and-tell or writing film reviews for the St. Norbert College Times as a high school student, Matt is way too obsessed with movies for his own good.

When he's not writing about the latest blockbuster or talking much too glowingly about "Piranha 3D," Matt can probably be found watching literally any sport (minus cricket) or working at - get this - a local movie theater. Or watching a movie. Yeah, he's probably watching a movie.
