ORLANDO, Fla. -- Milwaukee and Orlando switched their starting lineups, and changed worked for the Bucks.For the Magic, not as much.John Henson returned to the Bucks starting lineup and had 20 points and seven rebounds as in the Milwaukees 104-96 victory on Sunday night.Giannis Antetokounmpo added 18 points and nine rebounds and the Bucks got double-figure scoring from three reserves in beating Orlando for the second time in a week. Michael Beasley scored 13 points, Malcolm Brogdon added 12 and Greg Monroe had 11 points and seven rebounds.Henson, who had started five straight games, didnt play at all in the Bucks 105-99 loss to Toronto on Friday, but was back in against Orlando and scored his season high.Thats what were used to seeing from John when he does play, Milwaukee coach Jason Kidd said. He was great on both sides of the ball. Hes the total package both offensively and defensively.Henson didnt argue with the coachs decision to bench him.Its a long season with too many opportunities to get stressed about it, Henson said. (Kidd) said all the roles are open and youve got to be ready for whatever comes at you. Hopefully, I can keep this going.Orlando coach Frank Vogel, whose team has stumbled early in games most of the season, tried three new starters -- D.J. Augustin, Aaron Gordon and Bismack Biyombo -- but still lost its fourth straight.Augustin had 11 points and five assists. Biyombo had four points and four rebounds. Gordon had eight rebounds, but was 0 for 12 from the field and didnt score.It was an attempt to give us a different feel, create a little bit of a different identity and see if it would work because things have not been working, Vogel said. There were some things that were good about and some that werent. Weve got to keep looking at ways to get better.Evan Fournier led the Magic with 27 points and seven assists. Serge Ibaka scored 19 points, Nikola Vucevic added 17 points and 16 rebounds, and Elfrid Payton had 16 points.The last Orlando run came in the middle of the fourth quarter, when Vucevic nailed a 3-pointer to cut the Magics deficit to 89-86 with 6:38 to play.Henson responded with a layup, Mirza Teletovic contributed a 20-foot jumper and Henson followed with a dunk to make it 95-86 and the rally was over. Orlando never got closer than six points the rest of the game.TIP-INSBucks: Milwaukees reserves, led by Brogdons 10 points, outscored the starters 19-17 in the first period. ...

Wholesale Nike MLB Jerseys . -- Cam Newton pranced into the end zone, placed his hands over his chest and did his familiar Superman pose.SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Theo Epstein is rising to a new reality.For the last few years Ive had a semi-recurring dream, maybe five or six times, where Ive woken up, wow, we just won the World Series with the Cubs. Thats unbelievable, he recalled Monday night.And then about 10 seconds later I realize it was just a dream, and then the rest of the day stinks, right? Its a pretty great feeling and then back to reality. The last five days or whatever its been, Ive been waking up with the same realization and then it takes a couple seconds. Wow! It really happened!Days after the team he designed ended a long championship drought, Epstein was voted The Sporting News Major League Baseball Executive of the Year for revitalizing the Chicago Cubs.Balloting by 56 big league executives took place before the postseason. The Cubs led the majors with 103 wins during the regular season, then beat Cleveland in a seven-game World Series last week for their first title since 1908.During the parade I kept telling my wife we need to go home to change some diapers and do some laundry, because this is not real life, he said. Weve got to get our feet back on the ground.Epstein was presented with the award at the start of the annual general managers meeting. He received 13 votes, followed by Clevelands Chris Antonetti (nine), the New York Yankees Brian Cashman (eight), Texas Jon Daniels (seven), Clevelands Mike Chernoff and Washingtons Mike Rizzo (three each), and Baltimores Dan Duquette and the Cubs Jed Hoyer (two apiece).Now 42, Epstein was the youngest general manager in major league history when Boston hired him at age 28 in November 2002. He helped the Red Sox win the 2004 World Series, their first title since 1918, and a second championship in 2007.Winning at 42 vs. 30, I have a greater appreciation for how hard it is and how many people have to contribute and how lucky you have to get along the way, too, he said.Epstein left Boston after the 2011 season to become president of baseball operations with the Cubs, who lost 91 games that year. As he rebuilt the team, the Cubs dropped 101 games in 2012, 96 the following year and 89 in 2014. They won 97 games last year to gaiin a wild card, returning to the playoffs for the first time since 2008 only to get swept by the New York Mets in the NL Championship Series.ddddddddddddhis year, Chicago defeated San Francisco in the Division Series, overcame a 2-1 deficit against the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL Championship Series and then became the first team to rally from a 3-1 World Series deficit since the 1985 Kansas City Royals.Chicagos 10th-inning rally in Game 7 was sparked by Albert Almora Jr., the first player drafted under Epsteins regime, taken sixth overall in 2012. Third baseman Kris Bryant was drafted in 2013 and outfielder Kyle Schwarber in 2014, and the Cubs traded for pitcher Jake Arrieta (from Baltimore), first baseman Anthony Rizzo (San Diego) and shortstop Addison Russell (Oakland).Jon Lester was signed as a free agent after the 2014 season and fellow pitcher John Lackey, all-purpose player Ben Zobrist and outfielders Dexter Fowler and Jason Heyward were signed last offseason.Chicago gave Epstein a new five-year contract in September. Now the challenge is to win two in a row and match the 1907-08 Cubs.It does make you hungry just to validate it. When you can win two, I think it means even more, he said. Wed love to be the type of organization that national baseball fans think of when you think of October baseball.Aroldis Chapman, Fowler, Jason Hammel and Travis Wood have become free agents. Epstein already has been thinking about roster alterations.The mix has to change a little bit, he said. If you look to just bring back every single component and try to recreate the past, its going to change by definition. Group dynamics change. Human beings change. And so maybe its better to change it in some small ways on your terms and some intent behind it rather than just let it come back exactly the same and be stale. ... Well make some smaller changes, but I do have a feeling this nucleus is going to stay intact a lot longer than what we did in Boston.Founded in 1886, TSN ended its print edition in 2012 but remains available online.
