The Tuesday night game between the Phoenix Suns and Sacramento Kings had a dramatic twist at the end. The Suns trailed by 22 points in the last quarter and it seemed like the Kings had sealed a comfortable victory. But it was Kevin Durant, who shifted the gears rapidly and produced a miraculous win for the Suns.

The Suns march forward with a three-game winning streak, finally finding their groove with the return of the Big-3. However, the latest win wasn’t a cakewalk, but a mere miracle. On the other hand, the Kings have lost two consecutive close games which involve a Damian Lillard buzzer-beater 3-pointer and Kevin Durant’s magical comeback.

The Kings started off the game with a bang, leading by 12 points in the first quarter. And, it didn’t stop there as they continued to build on the lead and stepped into the fourth quarter again with a 12-point lead and further ballooned it to 22 points. While it seemed like everything was over for the Suns, Kevin Durant stepped on the gas for the win, scoring 15 points in the last quarter alone.

In the last 5 minutes alone, Durant dropped 12 points, while the Kings only managed 4 points. Importantly, he led the Suns with a dramatic 32-8 run in the last quarter to register a 117-119 win.

Following his 27-point outing, KD picked up the mic to take a few questions from the reporters. One of the reporters asked him about the victory, and Durant had an uncanny response. He said, “I have no clue. I usually know how the game is going, but this one felt like a blur.”

Apart from KD, Eric Gordan, Grayson Allen and Bradley Beal also brought out their clutch prowess to take side home.
