SACRAMENTO- Kevin Martin scored 48 points for the Sacramento Kings in a 127-116 overtime win over Memphis Monday, spoiling the Grizzlies' debut of veteran Allen Iverson.

Beno Udrih made a game-tying layup in the closing seconds of regulation for the Kings who were making their 2009-10 NBA season home debut.

The Kings, who began the season with three consecutive road losses, picked up their play late in overtime in front of a sold out crowd of 17,317 at Arco Arena.

Iverson was booed in his Memphis debut after missing the first three games while recovering from a hamstring injury. Memphis signed free agent Iverson in the off season.

The volatile Iverson came in off the bench with just under five minutes remaining in the first quarter.

He finished with 11 points but didn't hit a basket until late in the third quarter.
