HOUSTON, March 3 (UPI) -- Carl Landry made two free throws with 4 seconds to play Wednesday and the Sacramento Kings survived a last-second shot to defeat Houston 84-81.

Landry, dealt from Houston to Sacramento at the trade deadline this season, scored 22 points with 10 rebounds. He was part of a three-team trade that brought Kevin Martin to Houston.

Martin was 3-of-13 from the field for 14 points and Houston lost for the fifth time in seven games.

It was Sacramento's third victory in four games. Beno Udrih contributed 13 points and Omri Casspi had 11.

Aaron Brooks scored 22 for Houston, but he missed a 3-point attempt to tie it as the buzzer sounded.

Sacramento won on the road for just the sixth time in 32 tries this season.
