The head coach, who broke the chain of nine consecutive losses against SK, smiled for the first time in a long time. Suwon KT won against Seoul SK in as many as 460 days and even recorded a victory against the club before this season, saving its hopes for the playoffs.

KT, led by head coach Moon Kyung-eun, won 81-70 at home against Seoul SK in the 2025-2026 LG Electronics' professional basketball regular league at KT Sonicboom Arena in Suwon on the 6th. With this victory, KT recovered its winning percentage to a season-high 22 wins and 22 losses and solidified its sixth position by widening the gap with seventh-place Goyang Sono (21 wins and 23 losses).

Coach Moon Kyung-eun expressed satisfaction at a press conference after the game, saying, "I told you I prepared a lot to beat SK even before the game, but more than 90% of the preparation came out."

"The players' concentration was good, regardless of whether it was you or not. Even if they failed in defense or attack, the following actions were very good, such as backcourt or steel that caused the opponent's turnovers. "The winning factor is that we defended Jamil Warney and Ahn Young-joon well with our promised defense."

Coach Moon Kyung-eun enjoyed the two-guard strategy of using Kang Sung-wook and Kim Sun-hyung at the same time in the game. In response, coach Moon Kyung-eun said, "The two players are resources that can shake the opponent enough. He said, "It worked well to use the court wide by taking advantage of the two-guard advantage," adding, "I was worried that Kim Sun-hyung would be mismatched in defense, but he did well. "The game concluded that he had a clear weapon of Kang Sung-wook and Kim Sun-hyung."

He also gave praise to the players who returned from injury. Coach Moon Kyung-eun added, "Han Hee-won, Park Joon-young and Moon Jung-hyun played an excellent role in the right place on both sides of offense and defense, and Lee Doo-won also played his part in terms of defense height and power."

The meaning of his first win against his former team SK was also different. Coach Moon Kyung-eun, who led SK from 2012 to 2021 and took the helm of KT this season, lost 64-104 in the first game against SK. Coach Moon Kyung-eun said, "It's been bothering me all season that I lost my first showdown. Since then, there have been a number of injuries, and I was very disappointed that I could not be on top of my normal strength, but I am happy to win with quite a few available personnel back even without Ha Yoon-ki and Joel Cagoulan."

In addition, regarding the competition for the sixth-round playoff (PO) like thin ice, he smiled, saying, "There was no place to retreat because Sono was chasing, but it brought an important victory."
