🔥 WHAT A FINISH — The Suns pull off the stunner and steal home court in the desert! Despite Polecat’s 4-goal outburst, the Hawks couldn’t hold on as Durant and the Suns rallied late behind a clutch team effort.

🏁 Durant finished with 3 goals, none more important than the equalizer with under a minute left. But it was a secondary scorer—not even on the scouting report—who blasted home the game-winner off a cheeky backboard bounce.

🎙️ POSTGAME INTERVIEWS:

Polecat (visibly frustrated):

“I gave it everything… but we’re not folding. One game don’t define us. We’ll take what we learned and come back swinging in Game 2. The Badlands ain’t done roaring.”

Kevin Durant (to RLS Central):

“That was personal. Everyone talked about the Badlands like we were just visiting. Nah. We came here to stay.”

🧠 Lyon Skies Commentary (The Lost Days Podcast):

“Durant wasn’t flashy, but efficient. The Suns didn’t panic when they were down 3-1 early. They stayed composed, something not even the Terminators could manage in their opener.”
