Zaccharie Risacher scored 15 points on 7-of-8 shooting and Nickeil Alexander-Walker added 14 points for the Hawks, who never trailed and led by as many as 44. Atlanta has won three straight and six of its past eight games.

Atlanta sailed to a 25-10 lead midway through the first quarter before Sacramento responded to trail just 37-34 after 12 minutes.
But the Hawks went on another surge in the second quarter with Johnson's dunk capping a 17-4 run and giving Atlanta a 57-41 lead with 4:27 left in the first half.
Johnson had 18 points on 7-of-8 shooting as the Hawks held a 66-46 halftime lead.
The Hawks continued their rampage with an 11-1 spurt to open the third quarter. Johnson made two free throws to end it and make it 77-47 with 9:08 remaining in the period.
