ATLANTA -- The Atlanta Hawks made their first home victory of the season a rout Wednesday night while adding to the Sacramento Kings' longtime futility at Phillips Arena.

Dennis Schroder had 21 points and eight assists, and Dewayne Dedmon scored a career-high 20 points to go with 14 rebounds as the Hawks handed the Kings their 11th consecutive loss in Atlanta, rolling to a 126-80 victory.

It was the largest victory margin for the Hawks (3-12) since a 141-97 victory over Detroit in March 1994.

Atlanta, which had lost its first four home games, shot 63.3 percent overall and made 16 of 32 3-point attempts.

Zach Randolph scored 16 points and George Hill had 12 points as the Kings lost their eighth straight road game after winning their first away from Sacramento this season.

Dedmon scored 18 points -- just one less than his career best -- and grabbed 11 rebounds in the first half. He went 9 of 10 from the field for the game and hit his only 3-point shot.

Luke Babbitt hit his first three 3-point attempts to give him six in a row in two games and at 13 points in the first half before sitting out the rest of the way because of spasms in his lower back.

The Hawks scored the opening nine points and made their first eight shots for an 18-5 lead less than five minutes into the game. The Kings got with five points early in the second quarter, but the Hawks closed on a 38-14 blitz for a 64-35 lead at halftime.

Atlanta shot 58.1 percent in the first half, including 9 of 17 on 3-pointers, to 29.2 percent for Sacramento, which was 2 of 16 from behind the arc.

The Hawks led 92-61 going into the fourth quarter, sending Schroder and Dedmon to the bench for the rest of the game.
