Barnes half-court buzzer beater stops Pistons

(AP) Detroit sports fans can be excused if the last week has ruined their holiday mood.

Six days after Aaron Rodgers beat the Lions with a 60-yard Hail Mary pass as time expired at Ford Field, the Pistons were on the wrong end of a similar finish 30 miles north at the Palace of Auburn Hills.

This time, it was Matt Barnes knocking down a halfcourt shot with 1.1 seconds to play that gave the Memphis Sounds a 93-92 victory over Detroit.

"I knew I was ahead of a lot of people, and I wasn't sure what the time was, but I had space to get a clean look and I shot it," Barnes said.
