Hyundai Mobis took the lead in the first quarter, featuring Asian Games gold medalists Lee Seung-hyun and Lee Woo-seok.

However, KCC succeeded in turning the game around in the second quarter under the direction of Heo Hoon.

Heo broke through the paint with blazing speed to earn an additional free throw, and delivered timely assists to Shawn Long and Luis King.

The two foreign players, with their scoring instincts revived, took turns putting on a dunk show to score double digits each in the second quarter alone. KCC pulled ahead by 17 points in the second quarter and completely overwhelmed their opponents until the end.

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

[Heo Hoon / KCC Guard: (KCC) is a team that rides momentum well. We will keep this momentum going to show our fans a good performance in the next game, and I am sorry for showing such a disappointing game in the opening match.]
