SACRAMENTO, Nov. 17 (UPI) -- Kyle Korver scored 22 points Friday and was one of four Atlanta players with at least 19 as part of the Hawks' 112-96 decision over Sacramento.

Atlanta climbed back to the .500 mark at the end of a four-game trip on which it went 2-2. Sacramento has lost four in a row and at 2-7 has the worst record in the Western Conference.

The Hawks had a 69-67 lead with 6:30 to play in the third quarter and then finished off the period on a 17-3 run. Sacramento came no closer than 11 during the closing 12 minutes.

Korver made 7-of-9 shots from the field and Atlanta shot 55 percent overall. Lou Williams pitched in 21, Al Horford had 20 and Josh Smith had 19 for the Hawks, who hit 8-of-15 from beyond the arc.
