SALT LAKE CITY, Feb. 3 (UPI) -- Kevin Martin produced a 3-point play with 6.9 seconds remaining Wednesday, giving the Houston Rockets a 97-96 win over Utah.
The Rockets had lost the first three outings in a four-game road trip but ended the journey with a dramatic victory in which they overcame a six-point deficit early in the fourth period.
With his team trailing by two, Martin hit a jump shot while being fouled by Al Jefferson. After Martin's free throw gave Houston the lead, the Rockets survived a jumper by C.J. Miles with 3 seconds to go.
Martin scored 22 points, Kyle Lowry had 16 for the Rockets and both Luis Scola and Aaron Brooks produced 14.
Paul Millsap, playing with a dislocated finger, had 20 points and 11 rebounds for Utah. It was the eighth loss in 10 games for the Jazz.
