Atlanta Hawks guard Mike Bibby (10) prepares to shoot a three -point shot over Detroit guard Allen Iverson (1) in the first half of NBA basketball action in Atlanta, Georgia, Dec. 21, 2008.
"It was a good pass," Bibby told reporters. "I told myself if I caught it I was going to shoot it. And there was enough space to get a good shot up."
The win came a day after the Hawks had lost in overtime to the New Jersey Nets on Vince Carter's three-pointer at the buzzer.
"You don't want to lose two in a row," Bibby added. "We toughed it out and got the energy we needed at the end of the game."
Josh Smith added a season-high 29 points and Johnson had 14 assists and 14 points to help the Hawks win for the seventh time in eight games.
Houston's Aaron Brooks had a chance to tie the score as time expired but missed a three-pointer.
Reserve Carl Landry paced the slumping Rockets with 18 points. Center Yao Ming added 16 points and 15 rebounds. All 16 of Yao's points came in the first half.
"They were coming at him, but we've worked on that," Rockets coach Rick Adelman told reporters.
