It was the home team that laughed in the bad news of the injury. Suwon KT caught Ulsan Hyundai Mobis in its home turf and broke the losing streak.

KT beat Hyundai Mobis 74-58 in the regular league of LG Electronics' professional basketball from 2025 to 2026 at Suwon KT Sonic Boom Arena at 2 p.m. on the 11th.

KT, which had recently won two consecutive games, widened its gap with seventh-place Goyang Sono (11 games and 19 losses) with 16 wins and 16 losses in 32 games and the sixth-place playoff spot. Hyundai Mobis fell to a second straight loss and remained 10 wins, 21 losses and eighth place.

Kang Sung-wook, who joined KT this season as the seventh-ranked player in the first round of the 2025 rookie draft, flew high. While key players such as Kim Sun-hyung and Joel Cagoulan were out due to string injuries, Kang Sung-wook led KT's attack by posting 12 points, 6 assists and 2 steals. Derek Williams and Isaiah Hicks marked 16 and 12 points, respectively.

Hyundai Mobis' main forward Hammons also missed the game against KT due to osteostitis. Park Moo-bin scored 17 points and eight assists, Lee Seung-hyun scored 10 points and eight rebounds, and John Igbounu worked hard with 17 points and eight rebounds, but the rest of the players were disappointed.

KT scored in the first quarter with foreign players Derek Williams and Isaiah Hicks silenced, while domestic players played. Hyundai Mobis put John Igbunu and Park Moo-bin at the forefront.

In 15 seconds of the game, Cho Han-jin opened the scoring with a three-point shot. KT hit the ball to the outside of Lee Yun-ki.

A seesaw game followed. KT targeted the opponent with the breakthrough of fast-footed Kang Sung-wook and Moon Jung-hyun. Hyundai Mobis fought back with a two-point game between Lee Seung-hyun and Seo Myung-jin.

Williams and Hicks saved their teammates' movements rather than scoring directly in the opponent's strong check. Hyundai Mobis finished the first quarter by balancing 18-18 with consecutive points by Park Moo-bin and Igbunu.

Hyundai Mobis caught the flow at the beginning of the second quarter. Lee Seung-hyun scored an exquisite under-the-scenes shot and scored both free throws to lead 22-18.

KT changed the atmosphere again with the revival of the outside. Following Park Joon-young, Lee Yun-ki's three-point game exploded and turned around again 26-24.

The middle of the second quarter was chaotic. Both teams easily lost their offense by committing back-to-back turnovers.

Williams dominated the end of the second quarter. Hyundai Mobis scored eight points in a row while the score stopped. He split the rim to three points just before the quarter ended. KT finished the first half with a 38-28 10-point lead.

At the beginning of the third quarter, Hyundai Mobis made a fierce chase. Igbunu and Park Moo-bin dug under KT's basket and combined for six points. It was a 34-38 four-point game.

The score widened again. KT scored four points in a row with a fastball in the second half of the third quarter as its unique offensive tempo revived. Park Moo-bin's three points fought back to Jung Chang-young's outskirts and headed into the final quarter with a 53-458 lead.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Kang Sung-wook stirred up Hyundai Mobis' defense. Following a two-point shot, he scored under the basket through a two-man game with Hicks. With 7:42 left, Park Joon-young scored up to 3 points from the buzzer beater, widening the gap to 60-47 13.

With about three minutes left, the game actually tilted. Kang Sung-wook collaborated with Hicks and Ally-Oop Dunk to run to a 68-53 15-point gap in the fast attack situation.

Both teams left out foreign players. KT succeeded in escaping the losing streak by keeping the lead until the end of the game, and Hyundai Mobis lost two consecutive games.
