PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) _ LaMarcus Aldridge had 28 points and 12 rebounds to lead the Portland Trail Blazers to an 87-84 victory over the Sacramento Kings Friday night.

Brandon Roy made the go-ahead basket and finished with 13 points and eight assists. Steve Blake scored all his 13 points in the second half for the Blazers, who are 5-1 at the Rose Garden but winless on the road.

Kevin Martin had 21 points, seven rebounds and four assists for the Kings. Ron Artest added 17 points, 11 rebounds and five assists in his return from a one-game absence.

Aldridge had his third game of at least 20 points and 10 rebounds, and he made 12 of 15 shots from the field.

Sacramento led for most of the first three quarters, but Portland forced seven fourth-quarter turnovers and outscored the Kings 27-19.
