NEW YORK, Feb. 9 (UPI) -- Tyreke Evans hit two key overtime free throws to complete a Sacramento comeback and lift the Kings to a 118-114 win over New York Tuesday.

The Kings came charging back from a 15-point deficit late in the game, forcing overtime. Evans, who finished with 27 points and 10 rebounds, hit the crucial free throws with 4.9 seconds left in the extra frame to send Sacramento to the win.

Evans also connected on 12 points in a fourth-quarter spurt that saw the Kings outscore the Knicks 22-7 to produce a 105-105 tie.

Sacramento's Donte Greene ended with 24 points and eight rebounds while Omri Casspi had 18 points and Kevin Martin 17 in the win, which was only the Kings' fourth in 26 road games this season.

Wilson Chandler poured in 35 points for New York, which also got 21 points and 10 rebounds from David Lee. Al Harrington contributed 17 points.
