The Goyang Sono Skygunners delivered a decisive victory over the Ulsan Hyundai Mobis Phibers, escaping the quagmire of a four-game losing streak.

On the 16th, at the Goyang Sono Arena in Goyang City, Gyeonggi Province, the Goyang Sono defeated the Hyundai Mobis 95-82 in a Round 1 home game of the 2026-2027 KCC Pro Basketball regular season. Relying on perimeter shooting that burned throughout the game and focus that emerged at critical moments, the Sono shook off the Hyundai Mobis's tenacious pursuit.

With this win, the Sono added a valuable victory for the first time in five games since their 82-73 home win against Daegu Korea Gas Corporation on the 3rd, laying the groundwork for a turnaround in momentum. On the other hand, the Hyundai Mobis pursued fiercely until the end of the game but failed to overcome the critical moments, missing out on their first consecutive wins of the season.

In the early part of the first quarter, the Hyundai Mobis took the lead with consecutive three-pointers from Lee Woo-seok. However, the Sono quickly turned the tide with perimeter shots from Choi Seung-wook and Lee Jung-hyun. Following this, Kevin Kemba's three-pointer, along with inside pressure from Jony Obryant and Scotty James, extended their lead to 21-14. Although the Hyundai Mobis closed in with a dunk by Darius Bazley and consecutive scores from Park Mu-bin, the Sono responded with a three-pointer from Kim Jin-yu, ending the first quarter at 24-21.

Entering the second quarter, the Sono's firepower intensified further. James dominated the paint, followed by three-pointers from Lee Jae-do and Kemba, and then Kemba's dunk shot, widening the gap to 13 points at 39-26.

The Hyundai Mobis countered with fierce fast breaks. After Bazley and Gage Prime opened the scoring, Lee Woo-seok and Park Mu-bin attacked the rim by capitalizing on Sono turnovers. With a perimeter shot from Lee Woo-seok just 31 seconds before halftime, the score narrowed to 41-39, a two-point difference. In the midst of the crisis, Obryant sank a crucial inside shot four seconds before the end of the half, concluding the first half with a four-point lead at 43-39.

The third quarter was a fierce back-and-forth battle. The Sono saw shots from Kemba and Choi Seung-wook repeatedly find the rim, followed by Obryant dominating both inside and outside to hit consecutive three-pointers, extending their lead to 15 points at 66-51. The Hyundai Mobis also chased tenaciously, combining perimeter shots from Park Mu-bin and Lee Woo-seok, a dunk from Bazley, and a three-pointer from Jerry Abadiano to close the gap to 70-64.

However, the Sono remained steady. With 19 seconds left in the third quarter, Lee Jung-hyun sank a decisive three-pointer, breaking the opponent's will to chase. Ultimately, they headed into the final fourth quarter with a nine-point advantage at 73-64.

Entering the fourth quarter, the Sono widened the gap further. Although the Hyundai Mobis pursued tenaciously, Kemba sank a decisive three-pointer from an open chance with about four minutes and 30 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, nailing down the victory.

Sono's Obryant soared with 27 points and 16 rebounds, while Lee Jung-hyun added firepower with 18 points, including three three-pointers. Kevin Kemba also scored 20 points with four three-pointers. The team recorded a whopping 16 successful three-pointers. For the Hyundai Mobis, Bazley scored 19 points, Lee Woo-seok 18 points, and Park Mu-bin 16 points, but their efforts faded in defeat.
