Changwon LG Sakers succeeded in recapturing the top of the regular league for the first time in 12 years by devouring the Suwon KT Sonic boom with explosive firepower early in the game.

Changwon LG won an overwhelming 87-60 and 27 points against Suwon KT in the '2025-2026 LG Electronics Professional Basketball' held at Chilbo Gymnasium in Seosuwon on the 3rd. He never gave up the lead to KT.

With this victory, LG enjoyed the joy of lifting the regular league trophy for the first time in 12 years since the 2013-2014 season, regardless of the results of the remaining games.

The biggest contributor to the victory was by far Asem Mare. Maray, who played only 23 minutes and 2 seconds on the day, scored 21 points, 15 rebounds, and eight assists, truly dominating the court. He led the team with a "triple double" performance, showing off his overwhelming presence under the goal as well as a wide field of view that makes use of his teammates' chances. Organic firepower shone on the outskirts. Yoo Ki-sang scored 12 points by making four 3-pointers at every crisis, adding to his firepower.

From the beginning of the game, LG's "Fresh Wind Basketball" drove in. LG constantly pushed KT with strong defense and organic pass play. In particular, thanks to the performance of Maray, who had eight points, five rebounds, and four assists in the first quarter alone, and Carl Tamayo, who added six points, they ran away 17-0 and finished the first quarter 28-7.

On the other hand, KT failed to overcome LG's wave offensive. He struggled without finding a path to attack at all. At the end of the first half, the score was 49-27, already more than 20 points apart.

LG did not let go of the reins in the second half. In the third quarter, Yoo Ki-sang and Han Sang-hyuk's outer guns passed through the rim in succession, breaking KT's willingness to chase. LG, which maintained its external power amid stable game management in the fourth quarter, eventually built a golden tower of winning the regular league with a great victory.

Changwon LG, which has returned to the top of the regular league for the first time in 12 years, is now aiming for its final goal of winning the integrated championship and winning the championship game twice in a row through the playoffs.
