Seoul Samsung, a professional basketball team, met "natural enemy" Changwon LG on the road of losing consecutive games and bowed again.

Samsung lost 70-83 in an away game against Samsung in the regular league of LG Electronics' professional basketball in the 2025-2026 season at Changwon Gymnasium on the 7th.

Samsung, which has lost eight consecutive games, tied for ninth with Daegu Korea Gas Corporation with 9 wins and 20 losses. On the other hand, LG, the winning leader, had 21 wins and 8 losses, widening its gap with second-place Anyang Jeong Kwan-jang to two games.

Samsung, which has not been able to get out of the tunnel of a long slump, was once again held back by LG. LG's losing streak has also been extended to seven games. Since early last year, he has not won a single game when he meets LG.

The biggest difference was the outpost. He threw as many as 32 3-pointers, but only five passed the rim and the success rate was only 15.6%, but LG widened the gap early with a high hitting rate of 43.5% (10/23).

Samsung started the first quarter with Andrew Nicholson's first score, but LG immediately turned the tables with Yang Joon-seok's three-point shot. A minute later, Yang Joon-seok's outer shot exploded again, and Yang Joon-seok and Carl Tamayo's consecutive points widened the score gap to 10-2.

Asem Maray and Yang Joon-seok took the lead in offense with 10 and 8 points in the first quarter, respectively. At LG, Kerem Kanter responded by scoring eight points, but he could not easily close the gap by hitting only one of the six outer guns.

Since then, the game has been tight, but it has not easily narrowed the gap. Marei played a double-double with 16 rebounds (4 assists) along with 13 points, while Yang Joon-seok helped his team win with 15 points, including 3 3-pointers, 3 rebounds, and 3 assists.

In Samsung, he exploded 40 points with 13 rebounds and four assists, but he was the only double-digit scorer for Samsung on the day. Kanter also threw four 3-pointers and failed to make any success, and the fingertips of Park Seung-jae (1/5), Lee Kyu-tae (0/5), Shin Dong-hyuk (0/3), and Lee Kwan-hee (0/2) were also dull.

Lee Kyu-tae, who made three of the five three points, was the highest at 33.3%, but it was below LG's team success rate and eventually the victory or defeat was mixed in this difference.
