Johnson named to All-NBA team

“I had ample help,” he said. “It’s not just me. To receive this All-NBA honor, if it wasn’t for these other guys in the locker room this wouldn’t be possible.”

Johnson’s is the latest honor for a team that has received several for the season.

Coaches placed Johnson and center Al Horford on the Eastern Conference All-Star team. Josh Smith was runner-up for the Defensive Player of the Year award second-team All-Defense. Jamal Crawford won the Sixth Man of the Year award.

“A lot of guys got individual accolades, and I can speak for everyone when I say that’s not our main goal,” Johnson said. “But it’s one of them. That’s big, not just for us as individuals but for the Atlanta Hawks organization and us a team.”

Cleveland's LeBron James and Orlando's Dwight Howard were unanimously voted to the first team. Also on the first team are Oklahoma City's Kevin Durant, the Lakers' Kobe Bryant and Miami's Dwyane Wade.

On the second team are Phoenix's Steve Nash and Amare Stoudemire, Utah's Deron Williams, Denver's Carmelo Anthony, and Dallas' Dirk Nowitzki.

Voted to the third team along with Johnson were Portland's Brandon Roy, San Antonio's Tim Duncan, the Lakers' Pau Gasol, and Milwaukee's Andrew Bogut.

Centers galore

Before the Hawks played the Magic in Game 2, Woodson said he didn’t have a plan for rotating his centers.

“I’m just going to go with feel and see how the game is being called,” he said.

It turned out officials called a tight game when Magic center Dwight Howard was involved. That prompted Woodson to use four centers in the first quarter.

Woodson again replaced Horford after he was called for his first foul, but this time with Zaza Pachulia instead of Jason Collins. Collins came in later and Randolph Morris, who was inactive for the previous eight playoff games, played six minutes in the first half.

Etc.

The Hawks played their seventh consecutive game, with just one day off in between. Woodson said fatigue might have been a factor in Game 1. Orlando had eight days of rest after winning in the first round. "But I'm not letting them get off the hook like that," Woodson said. "We've got to play for four quarters." ... Orlando's statistics crew mistakenly credited one of Mike Bibby's missed shots in Game 1 to Horford. With 9:36 to play, Bibby missed a jump shot from the right wing, but the play-by-play and box score indicated Horford attempted the shot.
