Under the orchestration of Heo Hoon, KCC succeeded in turning the game around in the second quarter.

Heo penetrated the paint with high speed to draw an additional free throw and delivered timely assists to Shawn Long and Lewis King.

With their scoring touch revived, the two foreign players put on a alternating dunk show, each scoring in double digits exclusively in the second quarter. KCC pulled ahead by 17 points in the second quarter and continued to dominate the opponents until the end.

With Heo recording 17 points and 13 assists, and the two import players combining for 57 points, KCC claimed a 97–87 victory, shaking off the nightmare of a 35-point blowout loss against LG in their opening game.

[Heo Hoon / KCC Guard: (KCC) is a team that rides the momentum well. Building on today's momentum, we will show a good performance to our fans in the next game as well. I'm sorry for showing such a disappointing game in the opening match.]
