SACRAMENTO, Jan. 7 (UPI) -- The Sacramento Kings rode another big game from Peja Stojakovic to an easy 105-89 victory over the sloppy Atlanta Hawks.
The best passing team in the NBA, the Kings average better than 27 assists per game and ran a clinic on the Hawks en route to their fourth straight win. They never trailed, shot 48 percent (41-of-85) after a searing start and committed just eight turnovers.
"It was a good night for us passing," said Kings guard Mike Bibby, who had 19 points and six assists.
By contrast, the Hawks are 23rd with just under 20 assists per game and commit 18.2 turnovers per game, third-highest in the league.
It was more of the same in this one as they committed 23 turnovers, leading to 33 points for Sacramento. Guards Jason Terry and Jacque Vaughn had five apiece and rookie guard Boris Diaw committed four.
Stojakovic scored 28 points to lead five players in double figures. He was on the receiving end of passes all game as center Vlade Divac had a season-high 10 assists, guard Doug Christie had six and forward Brad Miller had five with 20 points and 10 rebounds.
