SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Al Horford was stellar on the offensive end Tuesday night. His defence on DeMarcus Cousins made the difference, though. Horford had 27 points and 10 rebounds, Paul Millsap had 25 points and 11 rebounds, and the Hawks held off the Sacramento Kings for a 105-100 victory. Horford was largely responsible for Cousins mediocre game. The Kings centre was limited to 11 points and six rebounds. Cousins made his first three shots in the games opening minutes, but didnt score again until getting a three-point play at the 11:21 mark of the fourth quarter. He was then called for three quick fouls early in the fourth, and he went to the bench for good at the midway point of the period. "My teammates did a great job of disrupting him and were digging real well and keeping him off balance," Horford said. "Any given night he can be the best big man in the league. Mentally, I feel hes stronger this season." When asked about Horford, Cousins only reply was, "Next question." Horford received plenty of help from Millsap, a key off-season addition for the Hawks. The two combine to give the Hawks a strong inside presence. That was evident in the fourth quarter when Horford scored 10 points and Millsap had eight, combining for 18 of Atlantas 23 points. "Paul has a knack for scoring late (in the game)," Atlanta coach Mike Budenholzer said. "I think both Paul and Al stepped up for us. They are working well off each other." The Hawks (2-2) led by 17 points going into the fourth quarter, but the Kings cut it to three with 32 seconds left. Isaiah Thomas had a chance to tie it with 3 second left but missed a 3-pointer and the Hawks beat the Kings for the 11th straight time, including six straight in Sacramento. Atlanta shared the ball effectively throughout and were getting open looks for much of the game until the final six minutes. The Hawks shot 48 per cent, made eight 3-pointers, and had only six turnovers going into the fourth quarter when they committed eight more in helping to fuel the Kings comeback. "The defence isnt where it should be obviously right now, and we continue to dig ourselves in big holes," Kings coach Mike Malone said. "Every time you do that you have to fight out of it and that takes a lot when youre 19 points down." Jeff Teague, who left the game in the first quarter with an ankle problem, returned in the second and played well, finishing with 18 points and 10 assists for Atlanta. Both Kyle Korver and Cartier Martin had nine apiece. Thomas had 18 of his 26 points in the fourth quarter for the Kings (1-3), who have dropped three straight. Marcus Thornton and Ben McLemore had 15 points and John Salmons added 13. Thomas has made a habit of coming off the bench this season and providing the energy that has the Kings in up-tempo mode on offence and hustling defensively. However, there was no helping the Kings in the second and third quarters when they were outscored 57-33. "We just cant keep doing this to ourselves like we are some great team," Thomas said. "It takes a toll on your whole team. We keep coming back, but its not going to happen every night." Using a suddenly energized defence in the fourth, the Kings scored 11 straight points, cutting the Hawks lead to 96-95 at the 2:45 mark on a fast-break layup by Thomas. When the lead had been reduced to three points at the 3:04 mark, Millsap brought the Hawks together for a little inspirational talk. "It was one of those moments when everything was unraveling," said Millsap, who played the previous seven seasons with Utah. "I told everyone, Lets finish this game. Thats my personality, to lead." Millsap was inspirational with his play as well. With the clock running down and Atlantas lead reduced to one point, he made an 8-footer and added a free throw for a 99-95 lead. After dominating the second quarter, the Hawks controlled the third. Getting numerous open looks against the Kings lacklustredefence, Atlanta went on a 19-6 run for a 75-56 lead at the 4:47 mark. Korver connected on his first 3-point attempt early in third quarter, extending his streak to 77 straight games, the fourth longest in NBA history and one less than third place Dennis Scott. Dana Barros holds the NBA record with 89. Teague scored 14 points and Millsap had 13 in the opening half. The Hawks trailed the entire half until the midway point of the second quarter. They ended up outscoring the Kings 29-13 in the second to take a 54-45 lead into halftime. McLemore had 12 first-half points for the Kings, who had 12 turnovers. The Kings are in the midst of a seven-game stretch in which they play six home games. Their only away game is Friday at Portland. The two teams play again Saturday night in Sacramento.

The Arizona third baseman was ejected for the first time in his 933 big league games in the Diamondbacks 5-4 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Friday night. "I was trying to make it to a thousand," he said. "I came up short." Manager Kirk Gibson was also tossed after he came out to argue following Prados ejection. "Prads not a hothead," Gibson said. "He said something I guess the home plate umpire didnt like." Paul Goldschmidt homered and Didi Gregorius had a pair of RBI singles for Arizona. Anthony Rizzo homered twice for the Cubs. Rizzo moved into a tie with Miamis Giancarlo Stanton for the NL home run lead at 22 with his sixth career multi-homer game, second this season. He homered twice at Milwaukee on May 31. Eury De La Rosa (1-0) gave up a run in one inning and got the win. Brian Schlitter (2-3) allowed a run in two-thirds of an inning for the loss. Prado was thrown out when he said something as he ran past plate umpire Cory Blaser after grounding out in the eighth. He had to be restrained by teammates after he was tossed. "Its part of the game. Theres a lot of emotions," Prado said. "I think I just overreacted, but the most important thing is we won the game. Guys were messing with me and said You have to get ejected every day." Catcher Miguel Monteros throwing error put a runner on third with one out in the ninth, but Addison Reed got out of it, getting Ryan Sweeney to pop out and fanning Welington Castillo for his 22nd save in 27 chances. The Diamondbacks Trevor Cahill, in his first start since April 13, allowed three runs on four hits in five innings. The left-handed batting Gregorius, 2 for 20 against lefties this season to that point, singled off left-hander Zac Rosscup to bring home what provedd to be the deciding run in Arizonas three-run sixth.dddddddddddd "The at-bat of the game," Prado said. Rizzo hit a two-run homer off Cahill far over the swimming pool area in right field in Chicagos three-run fourth. He added a booming solo shot to centre off De La Rosa in the sixth. The last player voted by fans onto the NL squad at the All-Star game, Rizzo is one homer shy of his total for last season. "That is cool," he said. " ... You want to keep on having good at-bats, not trying to hit home runs, just trying to hit the ball hard. " Ender Enciarte, just in the game as a defensive replacement in centre, ran down Rizzos shot to deep left-centre in the eighth. Gibson said David Peralta, shifted from centre to left, probably wouldnt have had the speed to get to the ball. Goldschmidts 17th home run was an opposite-field solo shot that barely cleared the fence in right and ended the night for Cubs starter Edwin Jackson. Cubs manager Rick Renteria said Jackson "kept us in the ballgame and Rizz had an All-Star night, two homers. "We didnt get a whole lot more after that, but even in the end we had a chance, but werent able to get that tying run in there," Renteria added. Cahill was demoted from the rotation to the bullpen after going 0-4 with a 9.17 ERA in his first four starts. The right-hander was designated for assignment on June 9, making one start for Class A Visalia and six for Triple-A Reno. "It felt good," he said. "Im competing at the highest level, starting, which Ive done my whole life. It was fun to be back out there and know I had the ball for as far as I could go." Notes: Arismendy Alcantara, in his sixth game since being recalled from Triple-A Iowa, stole second twice. ... In the second game of the series Saturday night, the Cubs send Travis Wood (7-8, 4.96 ERA) to the mound against the Diamondbacks Wade Miley (5-6, 4.18).
