Indiana beat Charlotte today in a 111-104 game that was close the whole way. For much of the game, it looked like Charlotte would be able to pull off the win, thanks in large part to an outstanding performance by Johnson. But the tide finally turned in the end, with Indiana star Henderson leading his team to victory.

"Definitely a great game," said Indiana coach Coach Hitch after the game. "The fans got their money's worth out of it, and both teams put up a good fight. We're just glad that we were able to finish strong and get the W. Henderson was a big part of that, and I don't think we'd have won without his efforts."
