The Atlanta Hawks began their brief California trip with a 122-107 defeat to the Sacramento Kings at Golden 1 Center on Monday night.
Dejounte Murray led the Hawks with 35 points in the absence of Trae Young with Bogdan Bogdanovic adding 18 points. For the Kings, Harrison Barnes scored 32 points, and Domantas Sabonis added 14 points and 21 rebounds.
Similar to the Cleveland game on Saturday night, the Hawks were placed into a difficult situation. Sacramento has been off since Thursday, during which time the Hawks have played two games and made the long trip out west and did so without Trae Young, who was placed into the NBA’s concussion protocol.
