The Falcons kicked off the proceedings in high gear, taking a massive early lead. Kushal Singh, Jack Purchase, and Alex Robinson Jr combined well to trouble the opposition while Falcons also hurt the opposition from free throws. Stallions started making a small dent to the gap, converting two quick shots from free play. But Kushal's layup followed by a free-throw allowed Hyderabad another three-point play to take a mammoth 34-11 lead after the first quarter.
