The Sacramento Kings ( 19 - 23 ) defeated the Atlanta Hawks ( 26 - 18 ) 91 - 88 on Thursday night . Both teams came into this game in the midst of three - game winning streaks and both teams came in on the back end of a back - to - back set . It was clear there were some tired legs out there , as the shooting was off with a much lower score than anticipated . Both squads combined to shoot well under 40 percent from the field with the two teams combining to go 15 - for - 57 from three - point range while committing 19 turnovers each . What ultimately got Sacramento their win was an 180 run in the third quarter in which the Hawks went nearly six minutes without scoring . Atlanta was able to fight back and get it to a tied ball game , but still could n't prevail late . Another huge key was the rebounding , as the Kings snatched down 56 boards to the Hawks 42 . This snapped a 15 - game winning streak for Atlanta over Sacramento , which was one of the longest current streaks in the NBA . Atlanta has been struggling with their frontcourt defense all season and that became another huge issue tonight . It 's one thing to allow DeMarcus Cousins to have a monster game , but allowing a rookie like Willie Cauley-Stein to record a double - double as well is unacceptable . No Hawks player had a great game tonight aside from Paul Millsap , who tallied 14 points , 14 rebounds , three assists , five steals and four blocks in another spectacular all - around game . Millsap looks poised to make the All-Star team this year ad it 's because of his ability to stuff the stat sheet like he did tonight . Jeff Teague has had a down year by his standards and he struggled yet again here , as he shot 2 - for - 8 while amassing just four points and four assists in the loss . In fact , he was benched for long stretches of this game , including the majority of the fourth quarter . Atlanta gets a much needed day off on Friday and then they get a good matchup against the Phoenix Suns on Saturday in their next game . Sacramento has quietly been one of the best teams in the west over the last two months and wins like this show why . They now have wins over the Hawks , Los Angeles Clippers and Oklahoma City Thunder over their last three weeks and that 's indicative of how much they have improved over recent weeks . DeMarcus Cousins has been the best player in the world in that stretch and he continued it here , by recording 24 points , 15 rebounds , five assists and three steals in the win . All five starters scored in double - figures and that 's a great sign with Rudy Gay sitting out this game with a heel injury . Rajon Rondo did n't shoot well , but he did accumulate 11 points , 10 rebounds and 11 assists in yet another triple - doubling performance . Sacramento will look to extend their winning streak to five games on Saturday against the Indiana Pacers .
