The Atlanta Hawks (50 - 13) defeated the Sacramento Kings (21 - 42) 130 - 105 on Monday at Philips Arena in Atlanta. In an all - around dominant effort from the Hawks, they built an early lead, gathering a 76 - 54 advantage by half. After surpassing the 100 - point mark in the third quarter, they were able to coast to an easy 25 - point victory in front of their home crowd the rest of the way. The Hawks shot extremely well in this game, going 60 percent from the field and 56 percent from the three - point line, while the Kings went 48 percent from the floor and 40 percent from deep. The Hawks also forced the Kings into 16 turnovers, while committing just 13 of their own. The Hawks starters all did their part, with each reaching double figures in points. Al Horford led the way, scoring 20 points (9 - 13 FG), to go along with four rebounds and three blocked shots. He's played well of late, averaging 17 points over his last five games, while shooting 55 percent or higher from the field in four of those five. Kyle Korver also had his shot dialed in, going 7 - for - 9 from the field and 6 - for - 8 from the three - point line to score 20 points in 31 minutes. He'd been struggling with his shot lately, as he failed to reach double - digit points in four straight games prior to Monday. He shot 40 percent or less in all four of those games, so it was good to see him hit nearly everything on Monday. Notching a double - double, Jeff Teague posted 18 points (7 - 11 FG, 2 - 3 3Pt, 2 - 3 FT), five rebounds and 13 assists in 29 minutes. Surprisingly it was his first double - double since the end of January, but he's still been scoring at a high rate lately, averaging 19 points over his last four games. DeMarre Carroll added 20 points (8 - 16 FG, 4 - 9 3Pt, 0 - 1 FT) and five rebounds as well. Doing his best to keep the Kings in the game was Rudy Gay. Gay went 10 - for - 15 from the field and 3 - for - 4 from the three - point line to score 23 points, while adding four rebounds and a blocked shot as well. During the Kings' four - game losing streak, he's been one of the few bright spots, as he's averaged 30 points and 7 rebounds per game over his last three outings. Recording somewhat of an off game, DeMarcus Cousins finished with just 12 points (3 - 9 FG, 6 - 6 FT), but still grabbed 14 rebounds and six assists. It marked his third double - double in a row, a stretch where he's averaged 23 points and 14 rebounds per game. Ray McCallum had one of the better games of his season, as he got the start at point guard. He went 6 - for - 10 from the field and 1 - for - 2 from beyond the arc to score 15 points, while adding five assists. After shooting just 30 percent (3 - 10 FG) in Saturday's game against the Heat, it was good to see him get things turned around. Ben McLemore added 12 points (4 - 16 FG, 2 - 8 3Pt, 2 - 2 FT) and three assists as well. The Hawks' next game will be on the road against the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday, while the Kings will travel to Charlotte to play the Hornets on Wednesday.
