KCC Escapes Bottom Rank After Another Fierce Battle With Sono

Pro basketball team KCC engaged in another fierce battle with Sono.

Unlike their first-round matchup, this time they ended up smiling brightly.

Having suffered a narrow one-point comeback loss in their previous encounter with Sono, KCC thoroughly exploited Sono's paint, which was missing the injured O'Bryant.

King drove to the basket and unleashed a powerful dunk, sending the Busan home fans into a frenzy, while Shawn Long joined the "dunk show" to extend the lead to as many as 21 points.

However, Lee Jeong-hyeon erupted for 23 points, including six three-pointers in the second half alone. Following a desperate struggle between both teams to secure possession, James completed a three-point play, narrowing the gap against KCC to just one point.

With 25 seconds remaining in the game, Lee Ho-hyun successfully converted both precious free throws to narrowly protect the victory.

With this win, KCC escaped the bottom of the standings, while Sono fell into a four-game losing streak.
