I got a 100% chance. KB Stars took a step closer to advancing to the championship game by showing off their overwhelming firepower in the first round of the playoffs.
KB beat Woori Bank 73-46 in the first round of the BNK Financial 2025-2026 Women's Professional Basketball Playoff at Cheongju Gymnasium on the 8th.
As a result, KB dominated the playoff, which is a best-of-five series, and gained an advantage to advance to the championship game.
Looking at the past statistics, the weight of winning the first game is considerable. In the previous playoffs, the team that caught the first game in the best-of-five series has advanced to the championship game 13 times out of 14 times, with a whopping 92.9% chance. In particular, KB has advanced to the championship game after winning the first round twice (2011-2012 and 2023-2024), when it played the best-of-five playoff in the past.
The main players' strong performance shone. Park Ji-soo dominated the basket with 20 points, 12 rebounds, and a double-double, while Heo Ye-eun also made a double-double with 15 points, 10 rebounds, and 6 assists. Kang Yi-seul also did his part with 14 points and 9 rebounds.
For Woori Bank, Kim Dan-bi (14 points) and Shim Sung-young (11 points) worked hard, but it was not enough to overcome the objective inferiority of power.
The game was KB's flow from the beginning. In the first quarter alone, he gained momentum by putting in five of his nine 3-pointers. On the other hand, Woori Bank struggled with an external hit rate of only 11%.
In the second quarter, Park Ji-soo's control under the basket was revived, and Heo Ye-eun and Kang Yi-seul added firepower. KB finished the first half with a big lead of 44-23.
Woori Bank chased down hard at the end of the third quarter and tried to turn the tables. However, in the fourth quarter, it gave KB the flow again. KB ended the first playoff game with a victory by blocking Woori Bank's attack with a solid defense.
KB Stars, which had an overwhelming advantage in the probability battle with a complete victory in the first game, will move to Asan on the 10th and play the second game.
