Even the joint second place group can't be relieved. The fourth-place team won a thrilling come-from-behind victory over Wonju DB thanks to a winning shot just before the end of the game on the road.

Seoul SK beat Wonju DB 66-65 in the away game of the fifth round of the LG Electronics Professional Basketball Regular League from 2025 to 2026 at Wonju Gymnasium on the 8th.

The front row fell into the fog. SK, the fourth-ranked team with two consecutive wins, narrowed the gap with the joint second-ranked DB with 24 wins and 15 losses and Anyang Jeong Kwan-jang to one game, laying the groundwork for a leap forward. On the other hand, DB, which suffered a painful upset loss, remained tied for second place, but was heavily chased by SK, the fourth-place team.

SK led the attack with Alvin Tolentino pouring 25 points, including four three-point shots, and Jamil Warney led the victory with 21 points and 12 rebounds, including a decisive come-from-behind shot in the fourth quarter. Rookie Eddie Daniel showed off his presence by scoring seven points, five rebounds, and two steals.

In DB, Lee Sun- Albano worked hard with 20 points. However, Albano made a decisive mistake just before the end of the game and bowed his head. Henry Ellonson and Park In-woong added 14 and 12 points, respectively.

The flow of the game was not known until the last minute. SK finished the first half with a slight lead of 36-35, but in the third quarter, DB's outer gun exploded and gave up the lead 53-58.

In the fourth quarter, SK balanced Oh Jae-hyun's fifth consecutive score by tying the score at 64-64 five minutes and 30 seconds before the end. After about four minutes of scoreless battle, DB Albano led by one point with a free throw, but Warney immediately turned the game back 66-65 with a score under the goal. DB lost the opportunity to turn around when Albano made an error in the last attack.

On the same day, Ulsan Hyundai Mobis defeated Daegu Korea Gas Corporation 84-65 and snapped a four-game losing streak. Hyundai Mobis (14 wins and 25 losses), ranked eighth, succeeded in turning the mood around. Gas Corporation (11 wins and 27 losses), which has been mired in seven consecutive losses, remained at the bottom.

Hyundai Mobis recorded 19 points, the most in a single game, with Cho Han-jin hitting five 3-pointers. Raytheon Hammonds added fire with 21 points. Park Moo-bin led the team's attack by posting 11 assists. Although Benny Boatwright fought hard with 18 points, Gas Corporation failed to escape the losing streak as it was completely defeated in the overall firepower battle, with Ra Gun-ah tied to two points without Atu.
