Defending professional basketball champion Busan KCC has fallen into a seven-game losing streak, remaining firmly at the bottom of the standings.

In an away game of the 2026-2027 KCC Professional Basketball regular season held at Ulsan Dongchun Gymnasium today (October 29), KCC lost 89-96 to Ulsan Hyundai Mobis, which was led by Darius Bazley, who recorded the league's first triple-double of the season.

Suffering their seventh consecutive loss, KCC recorded a 2-8 record and stayed at the bottom.

On the other hand, Hyundai Mobis improved to 3-6, moving up to a tie for eighth place with Suwon KT.

Hyundai Mobis faced a significant roster gap as key foreign player Gage Prim was sidelined with a knee injury, but overcame the crisis thanks to Darius Bazley, who dominated the court with high energy.

KCC finished the first half with a six-point lead at 54-48 as the two brothers, Heo Ung and Heo Hoon, fired off consecutive high-accuracy three-pointers, but the tide turned in the third quarter as Bazley exploded.

With about seven minutes left in the fourth quarter, Bazley achieved the season's first triple-double with 23 points, 12 rebounds, and 10 assists before exiting due to an injury, but Asian Games gold medal heroes Lee Woo-seok and Lee Seung-hyun filled the void to complete the come-from-behind victory.

Lee Woo-seok led the victory with 12 points, 9 rebounds, and 7 assists, while Kim Tae-wan delivered a surprising performance by scoring a career-high 17 points since his debut.

For KCC, Heo Hoon fought hard with 19 points and 11 assists and Heo Ung added 14 points, but they had to bow their heads in defeat for their seventh straight loss.
