The game was completely turned upside down at the end of the game. The home team, which had exploded firepower in the fourth quarter, won a thrilling victory and accelerated its pursuit of the lead.

Anyang Jeong Kwan-jang won 91-79 at home against LG Electronics' 2025-2026 professional basketball Busan KCCC at Anyang Jeong Kwan-jang Arena on the 7th.

Jeong Kwan-jang (25-13), who won two consecutive games with the victory, maintained a joint second place with Wonju DB, chasing the leader Changwon LG (27-11) by two games. On the other hand, KCC (19 wins and 20 losses), which has lost two consecutive games, fell to a tie for fifth place with a 50% win rate collapsing.

Park Ji-hoon contributed the most to Chung's victory. He played a leading role in offense by scoring 22 points, five rebounds and five assists, including two three-point shots (2/4). Johnny O'Brient (16 points) and rookie Moon Yoo-hyun (13 points) supported shots.

In particular, Han Seung-hee dominated the fourth quarter. He was the brightest in the match, scoring a total of 14 points, including 11 points in a quarter.

At KCC, brothers Heo Hoon (23 points) and Heo Woong (21 points) worked hard for 44 points, but failed to fill Song Kyo-chang's injury gap. Shaun Long also posted 14 points, 11 rebounds, and a double-double.

The trend, which was tight throughout the game, was split in the fourth quarter. Jeong Kwan-jang ran away with Han Seung-hee's outer shot with a 67-67 score until the third quarter. Following consecutive 3-pointers, Han Seung-hee made interceptions, block shots, and scores. Jeong Kwan-jang quickly widened the gap by 14 points to secure his victory.

On the same day, the joint second-ranked DB beat Seoul Samsung 83-80 on the road and won four consecutive games. DB remained tied for second place, and Samsung (12 wins and 26 losses) fell to three consecutive losses, staying in ninth place and failing to escape the bottom.

DB succeeded in winning consecutive games with Henry Ellonson (18 points, 13 rebounds) and Ethan Albano (18 points), who marked double-doubles. Samsung overcame a 14-point gap in the fourth quarter and even tied it, but failed to overcome the last crisis.

In Goyang, Goyang Sono defeated Suwon KT 92-78 and won three consecutive games. Sono (17-22), ranked seventh, continued his hopes of reaching the playoffs by narrowing the gap between the top five and two games. On the other hand, KT (19-20), which lost three consecutive games, tied for fifth with KCC.

Sono dominated the court with Lee Jung-hyun scoring 31 points, while Nathan Knight (24 points and 12 rebounds) and Kevin Kembao (24 points) added firepower.
