Fox, Haliburton lift Kings past Hawks 110-108

<p>SACRAMENTO, Calif. &mdash; De’Aaron Fox scored 37 points, Tyrese Haliburton made a pair of free throws with 36.6 seconds remaining and the Sacramento Kings beat the Atlanta Hawks 110-108 on Wednesday night.</p>
<p>Haliburton finished with 17 points and seven assists, Buddy Hield scored 14 and Richaun Holmes had 16 points and eight rebounds.</p>
<p>Clint Capella had 25 points and 17 rebounds for the Hawks, who have lost back-to-back games after winning their first eight under interim coach Nate McMillan.</p>
<p>Fox shot 13 of 20 and rattled Atlanta’s defense all night. He had 15 points in the first quarter, scored against a trio of Atlanta defenders inside the key with an up-and-under move in the third, then later added a turnaround 19-footer as the shot clock expired.</p>
<p>It’s the 10th 30-point game for Fox this season.</p>
<p>As good as Fox was, Haliburton made the difference down the stretch.</p>
<p>The 12th overall pick in the draft, Haliburton had a four-point play with 4:58 remaining then added a 10-foot turnaround jumper. After Young’s 3-pointer tied the score at 108, Haliburton was fouled driving toward the basket and made both free throws.</p>
<p>Young and Hield exchanged misses before Danilo Gallinari’s shot at the buzzer hit the side of the rim.</p>
<p>Fox made eight of his first 11 shots to keep Sacramento in front for most of the first half before Atlanta closed the second quarter on a 10-3 run. John Collins’ alley-oop dunk on a pass from Young capped the run and tied it at 57.</p>
