SACRAMENTO, Calif. --Joe Johnson and Jamal Crawford had 26 points each to help the Atlanta Hawks beat the Sacramento Kings 113-105 on Wednesday night.

Marvin Williams and Mike Bibby each had 13 points for the Hawks (4-1).

Kevin Martin, who was playing with bruised right wrist, had 29 points and 11 rebounds and Jason Thompson added 22 points and 12 rebounds for the Kings (1-3).

Martin had 25 points going into the fourth quarter, but the Kings, who were ahead by four, allowed the Hawks to surge back to a 93-92 lead after Bibby made a 3-pointer with less than 10 minutes to play.

Johnson's jumper with 3:20 left extended the lead to seven.

Martin finally scored his first basket of the fourth on Sacramento's next possession, but it was too late. Crawford answered with a 3-pointer that put the game away.
