Hawks break team record with 46-point annihilation of Kings

The 2017-18 Atlanta Hawks may not be very good, but the Sacramento Kings are much, much worse. Case in point: Wednesday's 126-80 beatdown.

The 46-point blowout was one for the history books, as it's a new Hawks record for margin of victory, per ESPN Stats & Info.

Dewayne Dedmon set the tone for Atlanta, recording a massive 20-point, 14-rebound double-double with five assists, two blocks, and two steals before checking out of the game after only 23 minutes. Dennis Schroder recorded 21 points with eight assists in 25 minutes.

The Hawks couldn't help but score, even with just one of their starters (Taurean Prince) logging more than 25 minutes. The team combined to shoot 63.3 percent from the field overall. Eight Hawks players reached double figures in scoring, including four off the bench.

After their soul-sucking loss, the Kings' point differential fell to an NBA-worst minus-13.6 points per game - a full 3.3 points per game worse than the Chicago Bulls - as George Hill, Zach Randolph, and Co. continue the race to the bottom of the standings.
