SACRAMENTO, California (Ticker) -- Kevin Martin and theSacramento Kings sent the struggling New York Knicks to yetanother road loss.


Martin scored a career-high 43 points and Ron Artest added 28and his usual stellar defense as the Kings outlasted the Knicks,123-118, in double overtime at Arco Arena on Friday night.

Brad Miller had 12 points and 11 rebounds for Sacramento, whichhad better execution in the extra periods en route to thevictory.


With the second overtime becoming a free-throw shooting contest,Martin - who entered the game shooting 85 percent from the line- missed both foul shots with 26.7 seconds left and his teamgrasping to a three-point lead.


But David Lee, who collected season highs with 24 points and 16rebounds, failed to box out Artest, who tipped the rebound toJohn Salmons. The Kings guard was then fouled and hit 1-of-2free throws to make it 117-113 with 17 seconds left.

Martin, who shot 11-of-21 from the field and 16-of-19 from theline, then nailed four more free throws on the Kings' next twopossessions - sending the Knicks to their fifth straight lossafter starting the season 2-1.


New York has lost the first three games in a tough four-gameWest Coast trip and will finish the jaunt at Denver on Saturday.However, it nearly picked up the trip's first victory inregulation and the first overtime in this wild contest.

Artest nailed a 3-pointer to give the Kings a 107-104 lead with1:33 left in overtime. Jamal Crawford then tied it for New York,converting a three-point play with 1:25 left.


Lee then got the Knicks a chance to pick up the victory in thefirst extra period, taking a charge on Salmons' drive with 35seconds left.


But Lee could not win it as his follow shot on Crawford's missedjumper rolled off the rim as time expired - sending the game todouble overtime. Ironically, a rebound on another miss byCrawford was instrumental in sending the game to extra time inthe first place.


Not known for his rebounding prowess, Eddy Curry snatched anoffensive board when Crawford's jumper fell short and layed theball in to tie the game at 97-97 with 9.9 seconds left inregulation.


After a timeout, Francisco Garcia missed a contested 3-pointer,allowing New York to call a timeout of its own with 1.9 ticksleft and set up one final play. On the final possession ofregulation, Curry missed a point-blank layup as time expired.

Curry collected 27 points and nine rebounds and Stephon Marburyadded 15 off the bench for New York, which played withoutforward Zach Randolph. The high-scoring forward was attendinghis grandmother's funeral.
