'Busan KCC has swallowed the second game held away from home, climbing past the ridge toward the championship. Not resting on their first-game victory, KCC unleashed an offensive display and moved one step closer to the historic achievement of the first No. 6 regular-season team to win the championship finals.

'KCC defeated Goyang Son 96-78 in the second game of the 2025-2026 LG Electronics Professional Basketball Championship Finals (best-of-seven) held at Goyang Son Arena at 7 p.m. on the 7th, securing a 2-0 series lead with two consecutive wins.

'Super team' KCC's core players all shone. Heo Woong scored 29 points, including six 3-pointers (6-of-9), while Heo Hoon recorded a double-double with 19 points and 12 assists. Choi Jun-yong contributed 25 points, six rebounds, three assists, and three blocked shots, and Song Kyo-chang added 16 points, six rebounds, and two assists.

'Son's Lee Jung-hyun scored 22 points, Jung Hee-jae 12, Lee Jae-do 11, and Nathan Knight 13, but they could not withstand KCC's powerful offense.

'KCC's offense erupted from the first quarter, pouring in 31 points to pressure Son. Choi Jun-yong attempted four 3-pointers and made three, scoring 13 points, while Heo Woong dominated the game with five points and six assists. Song Kyo-chang also stood out on defense, holding opposing key player Kevin Kambeo to just two points while contributing six points and two rebounds, excelling on both ends. Son tried to catch up with Knight's layups (six points) and Choi Seung-wook's eight points, but they were insufficient to match KCC's firepower. KCC ended the first quarter with a 31-18 lead.

'KCC's momentum continued through the first half of the second quarter. At one point, the gap widened to 37-18, a 19-point difference, making it seem as if the game was already decided. Whenever Son attempted a comeback with 3-pointers from Lee Jae-do and Lee Jung-hyun, Heo Woong doused their momentum with decisive 3-pointers.

'Son's strength was no small matter. With 1 minute 41 seconds remaining in the second quarter, Lee Jae-do made a 3-pointer, narrowing the score to 38-47, a nine-point gap. In the final moments of the quarter, Jung Hee-jae and Lee Jae-do's long-range shots kept Son within striking distance, but KCC extended the lead again with a 3-pointer from Heo Woong, ending the first half with a 52-43 score.

'The flow changed dramatically in the early third quarter. Son narrowed the gap to 52-54, a two-point difference, with consecutive 3-pointers from Jung Hee-jae and Lee Jung-hyun. After Choi Jun-yong made a 3-pointer and performed a "shh" gesture, Lee Jung-hyun responded with two points, leading to a 54-57 score and a one-possession game.

'KCC's hot shooting continued into the third quarter. Heo Hoon scored four consecutive points to widen the gap, and Heo Woong's long-range shots exploded, extending the lead to 67-56, an 11-point difference. The third quarter ended with KCC leading 71-61.

'The match tipped decisively in KCC's favor early in the fourth quarter. After Song Kyo-chang made a 3-pointer, Choi Jun-yong blocked Kambeo, and Heo Woong exploded from the perimeter again, widening the lead to 77-61, a 15-point gap.

'KCC's momentum showed no sign of stopping. Consecutive long-range shots from Song Kyo-chang and Choi Jun-yong extended the lead to 85-62, a 23-point gap. Heo Hoon made another 3-pointer in a wide-open situation, pushing the score to 88-65 with 4 minutes 56 seconds remaining.

'The outcome was already decided. With 3 minutes 13 seconds left, KCC substituted Heo Woong, Heo Hoon, Sean Long, and Choi Jun-yong to the bench. KCC, protecting their lead, secured two consecutive wins away from home, taking a favorable position toward becoming the first No. 6 team in history to win the championship finals.
