Indianapolis, IN (SportsNetwork.com) - Al Horford scored 25 points with eight rebounds to lead the Atlanta Hawks to a 108-92 win over the Indiana Pacers on Monday. Jeff Teague chipped in with 21 points and seven assists, while Kyle Korver netted 13 points and DeMarre Carroll added 12 for the Hawks, who have won seven straight overall and four consecutive on the road. Indiana, meanwhile, continues to sputter as it returned home from a winless four-game road trip to lose a fifth straight game. Rodney Stuckey and C.J. Miles paced the Pacers with 15 points. Clearly the Hawks were a more energized team, said Pacers coach Frank Vogel. We seemed a step slow. It does not get any easier for Indiana over the rest of the week, as it plays host to the Los Angeles Clippers and Portland Trail Blazers around a road game in Toronto. Carroll wrapped two 3-pointers around a Chris Copeland trey, then Horford added a basket from deep to give the Hawks an 18-11 lead. Another 3 from Carroll minutes later made it a 10-point game and the visitors led 28-18 after 12 minutes. I thought that we were able to set a tone and make sure that we stuck to the game plan, make sure that we defended and rebounded, and make sure that the home team didnt get on any big runs, Horford said. A 10-3 run to open the second quarter extended the lead for Atlanta as Thabo Sefolosha knocked down back-to-back shots for a 38-21 advantage. Solomon Hills layup capped a 10-2 spurt that trimmed the deficit back to 10, but the Hawks scored the final seven points of the half and brought a 60-43 lead into halftime. Teagues three-point play early in the third gave the Hawks a 68-47 edge. Indiana trailed by 21 entering the fourth quarter, but Miles helped it get back into the game. Miles hit consecutive 3s to begin the frame for the Pacers, then his four-point play closed the gap to 92-79 with over eight minutes left. Horford and Millsap answered with baskets, however, and the Hawks withstood Indianas rally to keep their winning streak alive. Game Notes Atlanta shot 51.9 percent from the floor ...

Throughout the course of my career there are a few special ceremonies that I think Ill remember when I retire.Im sure this will be one of them. Having a chance to walk down the rink and pay respects to the family was a pretty special moment. Itll be sad in some respects, but also its a celebration of his life. He was obviously a pretty tremendous man. Ive got to know a lot more about him in the last couple of days just from hearing stories and reading about him.Forward Daniel Sedin agreed it was not like most pre-game ceremonies.This is special because of the man he was, how big he was in this community and for this organization, said Sedin. As a player, you go through ceremonies pretty much every time you play in Canada, but nothing like this.The Canucks left home on Nov. 28 on their longest trip of the season, which included wins in Columbus, Washington and Pittsburgh, losses in Detroit and Toronto and an overtime defeat in Ottawa on Sunday.Its a difficult road trip, added Bieksa. Its good from a perspective of getting together with the guys, bonding, having some team dinners.Wins can be galvanizing, moreso on the road, but its also been a long trek.The Canucks (18-6-5) have been one of the surprise teams in the early part of the NHL schedule. And once the road trip is out of the way, they can look forward to a break. They begin a four-game homestand Saturday night against the New York Rangers and play nine of their next 11 at home, where they are 7-3-1 this season.Coach Willie Desjardins said an extended trip can be good for the team in the long run.You get these stretches, well get another (five-game trip) in March, and if youre ever fortunate enough to get to tthe playoffs, you get it again, said Desjardins.dddddddddddd Its a good way for your team to learn and be prepared for that, because in the end youve got to find a way to win every night. It doesnt matter what the situation is.Asked to assess the trip, Desjardins said: Parts of it have been good. The Toronto game (a 5-2 loss on Saturday night) I thought we played hard. We didnt play good in the Ottawa game, but the Toronto game we played hard. I thought we played hard in the Detroit game (a 5-3 loss). Youre not happy about losing, but at least we had good effort in those games.The trip has been memorable for rookie Bo Horvat, who found it longer than any he went on in junior hockey with the London Knights. Its awesome, he said. I only got to see three or four NHL rinks over the past years, so to be playing in all these rinks and seeing the different cities, its pretty special.To visit all these cities and to come close to home and have all the family there, its pretty cool.The 19-year-old Horvat said he has been given no indication whether he will be loaned to Team Canada for the world junior championship in Montreal and Toronto. NHL teams have until the Dec. 19 roster freeze to decide whether to loan out junior-age players. He hopes to stay with the Canucks.The low point of the Canucks trip came in Toronto, when centre Shawn Matthias left the game in the second period after taking an elbow to the head from Maple Leafs defenceman Stephane Robidas.Matthias, who missed the next game in Ottawa, took some line rushes in the game-day skate in Montreal but was uncertain to play.Im just kind of being cautious, said Matthias, who was not pleased that Robidas was not disciplined by the NHL for the hit. It was a pretty vicious hit to the head.The point of contact was my head. But I dont want to be looked upon as a complainer, so Im not going to complain about the hit. Im going to move on f
