Barnes jalf-court buzzer beater seals win over 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.
