Al Horford plans to do offseason work with the Hawks training staff in order to get his body fully healthy.

"I'm thinking about probably spending time here. We have really good trainers and a strength coach and now that they are going to be able to work with me with not as much pressure of a season, I think that is going to be really big for me to spend time getting right," Horford said. The big man also said he finds this offseason "intriguing" with Atlanta's cap space and gave an endorsement of GM Danny Ferry's plan.

Al Horford was too much to handle in Saturday's 90-69 win over the Pacers with 26 points, 16 boards, one assist, two steals and two blocks on 12-of-20 shooting in 40 minutes.

The Hawks were aggressive with 50 points in the paint and getting to the line 28 times. This was a bit out of the ordinary with Indiana ranking first in field goal percentage allowed in the paint and Atlanta with third-fewest free throw attempts during the regular season. Atlanta will try and level the series at two a piece on Monday at home.

Al Horford (shoulder) and Josh Smith (knee) are both good to go for Game 1 vs. the Pacers.

Both players are in the starting lineup as had been expected. They'll be joined by Jeff Teague, Devin Harris and Kyle Korver as the Hawks prepare to potentially upset the Pacers in Round 1.
