SAN FRANCISCO–Former Western Carolina standout Kevin Martin, now a Sacramento King, dropped 50 points on the Golden State Warriors Wednesday night.

Unfortunately, Golden State took an overtime 143-141 win in the grueling defensive struggle; a fate that has all too often befallen the Kings this year as they continue their drive toward a high lottery pick.

Amazingly, but not unexpectedly, Martin converted but 11 shots from the field – the rest of his points came at the free throw line, where he hit 26-of-29.

Dime Magazine put Martin in Jimmy Chitwood’s shoes in this piece on Thursday, making fun of Sacramento for giving Beno Udrih the last — and unsuccessful — shot.
