SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) _ Zach Randolph had 30 points and 14 rebounds for the Portland Trail Blazers, who tied the game at the buzzer in regulation and went on to defeat the Sacramento Kings 110-105 in overtime Saturday night.

Trailing 95-93, rookie Brandon Roy forced overtime with a 15-foot, fallaway jumper over John Salmons.

With the shot clock running down late in overtime, Randolph drove to the basket, made a spinning flip shot over Shareef Abdur-Rahim to put the Blazers ahead for good at 104-102 with 44 seconds left. Roy made two free throws with 9.3 seconds for 106-102 Portland lead.

Mike Bibby, who led Sacramento with 28 points, made a 3-pointer to pull the Kings to within 106-105 with 6 seconds remaining. Jarrett Jack followed with two free throws for a 108-105 lead and Bibby missed a desperation 3-pointer on the Kings next possession.

Randolphs two free throws with 1.7 seconds left clinched the victory and snapped a four-game losing streak.

Roy scored a career high 23 points, while Jack had 17 points and eight assists, and Martell Webster added 12 points.

Ron Artest scored 23 points for Sacramento, which was coming off an overtime loss at home Thursday to the Lakers. Kevin Martin had 22 points and Corliss Williamson had 12 points before fouling out late in the game.
