Powered by a dramatic go-ahead three-pointer by Kanter with 4.6 seconds left in the game, the team secured three consecutive opening wins for the first time in a staggering 23 years.

In a tied game with 21 seconds remaining, Samsung allowed a layup to Sono's Lee Jae-do, pushing the team to the brink of defeat.

During the final timeout, Samsung head coach Kim Sang-sik called aside Kanter, who had missed all six of his previous three-point attempts, and gave him tactical instructions.

With 4.6 seconds left, Kanter's three-pointer from the right 45-degree angle swished through the net, turning Jamsil Student Gymnasium into a cauldron of excitement.

Celebrating a thrilling one-point comeback victory and their first three-game winning streak to start a season in 23 years, the Samsung players hugged Kanter and reveled in their joy.
