Owner Real Deal Posted January 29, 2012 Author Owner Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- Joe Johnson stole the ball near his own basket and brought it up the court a bit gingerly. Something was bothering him, although it wasn't clear what until after the game. "I jammed these two fingers on my left hand," the Atlanta star said. "I couldn't really get my feeling back. I thought we were going to call a timeout, but nobody called a timeout, so I just did what I could to try to get a shot off." Johnson's 3-pointer over Rodney Stuckey with 1.9 seconds left sent the game to overtime, and the Hawks eventually pulled away from the Detroit Pistons for a 107-101 victory Friday night. Johnson scored 28 of his 30 points after halftime. Detroit led 87-81 after Austin Daye's baseline shot with 39.9 seconds left, but Marvin Williams cut the lead in half with a 3-pointer with 33.5 seconds to play. Johnson then stole a pass inside. His jammed fingers were on his non-shooting hand, and as the clock ran down, he kept the ball and made a tough 3-pointer to tie it.http://www.cbssports.com/nba/gametracker/recap/NBA_20120127_ATL@DET Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
