Sacramento Kings at Atlanta Hawks
· National Basketball AssociationDe'Aaron Fox leads Kings to 123-115 win over short-handed Hawks
DeMar DeRozan had 27, the fifth straight game he's scored more than 20 since joining the Kings in the offseason. Domantas Sabonis scored 15 points and grabbed 14 rebounds before fouling out, his fourth double-double in five games.
Trae Young led the Hawks with 25 points and 12 assists and Garrison Mathews hit a career-high seven 3-pointers off the bench en route to 23 points.
The Hawks played without starters De'Andre Hunter and Dyson Daniels, plus rotation players Bogdan Bogdanovic, Vit Krejci and Kobe Bufkin due to injury.
The Kings outrebounded the Hawks 50-41 and did not trail for the final 47 minutes of the game.
Hawks: Despite being outmanned, the Hawks put forth a better fight than they did in losing two games to the Wizards. Mathews looks like he may have earned a starting spot with his outstanding 3-point shooting while the team is lacking bodies.
