SACRAMENTO, Calif. — – Jalen Johnson<\/a> had 24 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists as the Atlanta Hawks<\/a> routed the slumping Sacramento Kings<\/a> 133-100 on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

Johnson scored 18 in the first half and shot 9 of 10 from the field overall for his fourth double-double this season and the 44th of his career. He made all four of his free throws, too.<\/p>\n

Onyeka Okongwu<\/a> added 21 points off the bench, Zaccharie Risacher<\/a> had 15 and the Hawks won their third straight despite playing without Trae Young<\/a>. The four-time All-Star guard has missed seven games due to a knee sprain and could be sidelined two more months.<\/p>\n

Atlanta (7-5) led by 44 and never trailed, getting balanced scoring with seven players in double figures.<\/p>\n

Keon Ellis<\/a> had 20 points with six 3-pointers for Sacramento (3-9). Domantas Sabonis<\/a> provided 12 points and Devin Carter<\/a> added 11. Russell Westbrook<\/a> and Precious Achiuwa<\/a> each scored 10.<\/p>\n

The Kings lost their fourth in a row and have been outscored 398-326 during that span.<\/p>\n

Atlanta took control early and never let up, even after coach Quin Snyder emptied his bench.<\/p>\n

The Hawks led by 15 midway through the first quarter before the Kings found a rhythm and pulled to 40-37 on Carter’s 3-pointer early in the second.<\/p>\n

Sacramento got sloppy after that and missed seven consecutive shots with three turnovers as the Hawks closed the first half on a 25-9 run.<\/p>\n

Risacher’s dunk extended the lead to 85-52 in the third quarter as loud boos from the home crowd filled Golden 1 Center.<\/p>\n

The booing continued into the fourth when the Hawks led by 37.<\/p>\n

Up next<\/p>\n

Hawks: Host the Utah Jazz<\/a> on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Kings: Play the Minnesota Timberwolves<\/a> as part of the in-season tournament Friday.<\/p>\n
