The Seoul Samsung Thunder, which led the clutch performance of "Bekjeon Veteran" Lee Kwan-hee (38), beat the Seoul SK Knights in the fourth "S The B" this season, setting the season's all-time record of 2 wins and 2 losses. In particular, it was a great achievement in the absence of Andrew Nicholson (37), a "key foreign player."

Seoul Samsung beat Seoul SK 92-89 after a close game in the fourth round of the "2025-2026 LG Electronics Professional Basketball Regular League" at Jamsil Student Gymnasium on the 11th. He played a fierce game right before the end of the game and secured the game.

With this victory, Samsung succeeded in setting the stage for a turnaround in the atmosphere, breaking away from the recent eight-game losing streak. On the other hand, SK failed to win three consecutive games.

On this day, Samsung did not include foreign player Nicholson in the entry. It was the club's own disciplinary action against the LG Sakers in Changwon on the 7th for being sent off while protesting the announcement of a screen foul. On top of that, not only Lee Dae-sung but also Lee Won-seok were injured.

The beginning of the first quarter was also SK's flow. Jamil Warney, a "key foreign player," was dragged away by dedicating consecutive runs. On top of that, SK finished with a 26-21 lead in the first quarter due to SK Tolentino's three points and quick success. However, Samsung began its pursuit with the recovered outer edge at the end of the first quarter. In the second quarter alone, Samsung turned the game around by showing off its firepower, with Han Ho-bin, Shin Dong-hyuk and Yoon Sung-won putting two 3-pointers side by side. Samsung lead 48-46.

The third quarter was SK's counterattack again. Again, Warney's consecutive 3-pointers and Kim Nak-hyun's 3-point success were added to make a 59-58 comeback. The two teams fought a battle throughout the third quarter.

The result was actually at the end of the fourth quarter. Samsung controlled SK with a strong defense at a time when the reversal was repeated until just before the end of the game. It seemed to easily catch the game 90-87 but Oh Jae-hyun was given three free throws due to Han Ho-bin's foul. Here, Oh Jae-hyun failed to make two and failed to tie. Samsung laughed by three points as the last Han Ho-bin made all the free throws.

Samsung dominated the basket with 24 points and 16 rebounds as Kerem Kanter played 40 minutes alone without replacement. Lee Kwan-hee also played a "triple double" level with 14 points, 8 assists and 7 rebounds. Han Ho-bin also added his firepower with 13 points. On the other hand, SK's Warney scored 38 points, but lost its luster due to the team's defeat. In the end, he couldn't overcome the situation.
