SACRAMENTO, Calif., Nov. 25 (AP) -- Kevin Martin is getting more attention from opposing defenses even though All-Stars Ron Artest and Brad Miller are back in the Sacramento Kings' lineup.
A third-year player enjoying a breakout season, Martin scored 27 points to lead the Kings to a 105-85 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers on Saturday.
Coming off a career-high 35 points against Seattle, Martin got it going again offensively. He made 8 of 13 shots, including 4 of 6 3-pointers, and all seven of his free throws.
Despite defenses starting to concentrate on stopping him, few teams have been able to slow Martin down. He is averaging nearly 25 points a game and is shooting 54 percent.
