The Atlanta Hawks (53 - 14) defeated the Sacramento Kings (22 - 44) 110 - 103 on Monday in Sacramento. The Hawks were without two of their All-Stars Monday night, as Al Horford was given the night off to rest and Kyle Korver (nose) had been ruled out for the remainder of the Hawks' current road trip to the West Coast. It was no problem however, as Atlanta's other two All-Stars played extremely well. Paul Millsap recorded a double - double in the winning effort, posting 19 points on 8 - of - 13 shooting and 10 rebounds in 35 minutes. Jeff Teague scored a game - high 23 points on 6 - of - 16 shooting and recorded six assists and four rebounds in 36 minutes as well. Coming off a career - best game where he scored 24 points and dished out 10 assists, Dennis Schroder struggled from the field this time around, shooting a poor 3 - of - 12 from the field and scoring just 10 points. He was, however, still able to dish out six assists. DeMarre Carroll recorded 16 points on 6 - of - 10 shooting, eight rebounds and three steals in 35 minutes, while Kent Bazemore scored 11 points in his start. Shelvin Mack was the final Hawk to score in double figures, scoring 14 points on 5 - of - 10 shooting in 21 minutes off the bench. Atlanta continues to sit comfortable atop the Eastern Conference, boasting an 11 - game lead over second place, while having the second best record in the NBA. DeMarcus Cousins led the way for the Kings in the losing effort, posting a double - double of 20 points, 13 rebounds, five assists and three blocks. It was n't enough however, as the Kings could have used Rudy Gay, who sat out Monday's contest with a knee injury. Despite Gay's absence from the starting lineup, Sacramento was still able to get some solid offensive production. Jason Thompson scored 18 points on 7 - of - 7 shooting in 24 minutes off the bench, while Andre Miller also produced in a reserve role, posting 16 points and seven assists in 18 minutes. Omri Casspi added 16 points on 6 - of - 13 shooting, while Ben McLemore and Ray McCallum round out the six Kings' players in double figures, scoring 11 and 10 respectively. Up next, the Hawks will travel to Oakland Wednesday to take on the Warriors in a battle between the NBA's best, while Sacramento will stay home and go up against the Clippers on Wednesday.
