ATLANTA — \u2014 Nickeil Alexander-Walker<\/a> scored 27 points and the Atlanta Hawks<\/a> shot 8 of 12 on 3-pointers in the fourth quarter to survive a late surge from Sacramento and beat the Kings 123-113 on Saturday night in coach Quin Snyder\u2019s 500th career victory.<\/p>\n

Jalen Johnson<\/a> had 26 points and 10 assists and Jock Landale<\/a> had 19 points and 13 rebounds to help Atlanta to its 15th win in its last 17 games. It was Johnson’s 44th double-double of the season and Landale’s first since his debut with Atlanta on Feb. 5. <\/p>\n

The Kings, who have lost their first three games of a four-game road trip, fell to 19-56. DeMar DeRozan<\/a> led Sacramento with 22 points. Maxime Raynaud<\/a> had 18 points and 10 rebounds.<\/p>\n

After a back-and-forth first half during which Atlanta trailed by as many as seven points, the Hawks went on a 26-8 run in the final 5:54 of the second quarter to lead 66-54 at halftime. Atlanta held its lead the entire third quarter.<\/p>\n

But Sacramento bounced back to tie it at 97 with 7:56 left. The Hawks went on a 26-16 run to end the game, with 18 of those points coming on 3-pointers.<\/p>\n

The Hawks were without Dyson Daniels<\/a> (toe), Onyeka Okongwu<\/a> (finger) and Jonathan Kuminga<\/a> (knee injury management) in the team’s second game in two days. All three played in the Hawks’ Friday night loss<\/a> to the Celtics. <\/p>\n

Landale and Mouhamed Gueye<\/a> started in place of Daniels and Okongwu.<\/p>\n

Russell Westbrook<\/a> (toe, injury management), Domantas Sabonis<\/a> (knee), Zach Lavine (finger), Drew Eubanks<\/a> (thumb), D’Andre Hunter (eye) and Keegan Murray<\/a> (ankle) remained out for the Kings. Sabonis, Lavine, Eubanks and Hunter will miss the rest of the season, while Westbrook does not have a timetable for return.<\/p>\n
