Ulsan Hyundai Mobis ended its long-standing 15-game road losing streak in Suwon.

Hyundai Mobis defeated Suwon KT 96-80 on the 18th in a road game against Suwon KT at the Suwon KT Sonicboom Arena in the 2026~2027 KCC Pro Basketball League.

With this victory, Hyundai Mobis improved to a record of 2 wins and 4 losses. Most importantly, they finally escaped the quagmire of a franchise-record 15-game road losing streak that had continued since the game against Anyong Posco Jungkwanjang in January of this year.

On the other hand, KT fell into a three-game losing skid. Their season record became 3 wins and 4 losses.

For Hyundai Mobis on this day, guard Seo Myeong-jin's offensive power exploded for a rare occasion. He led the team to victory by scoring a season-high 13 points.

Foreign player Gage Prime showed his consistent presence with 20 points, 7 rebounds, and 5 assists. Darius Bazley also contributed with 23 points and 10 rebounds, while Lee Woo-seok added 20 points to support the team.

For KT, Paris Bass scored 28 points, and Tray Porter recorded 15 points and 11 rebounds, but they could not prevent the team's defeat. The scoring support from domestic players was disappointing. Still, Kang Seong-wook fulfilled his role with 12 points.

Hyundai Mobis pressed hard from the early stages of the game.

After taking an early lead of 11-4, they led by a large margin of 30-18 at the end of the first quarter. Seo Myeong-jin was at the center of this. He scored a whopping 13 points in just the first quarter, leading Hyundai Mobis's offense.

KT attempted to close the gap led by Moon Jeong-hyun's three-pointers, but Hyundai Mobis pulled away again as Seo Myeong-jin and Lee Woo-seok hit consecutive shots from beyond the arc. 'Captain' Lee Seung-hyun's all-out hustle play also added strength.

Hyundai Mobis's momentum continued into the second quarter. They re-established a double-digit lead of 38-28 with Lee Woo-seok's free throws, and Bazley's scoring touch, which had been quiet, came alive.

They pressed even harder toward the end of the second quarter. Following Jerry Abadiano's three-pointer, Bazley drew a shooting foul, extending their lead to 56-38.

Abadiano hit a buzzer-beater three-pointer as the second quarter ended. Hyundai Mobis finished the first half with a comfortable 21-point lead of 59-38.

The start of the third quarter was also in Hyundai Mobis's favor. Bazley hit a shot from outside to maintain the good flow.

KT did not want to collapse easily at home. Moon Jeong-hyun and Miguel Okon scored from both inside and outside to begin their pursuit, narrowing the gap to 50-62 at one point.

However, Hyundai Mobis remained steady in the crisis.

Prime and Bazley persistently attacked the paint area to score again, and Lee Woo-seok cut off KT's momentum with a fantastic step-back basket near the rim.

Hyundai Mobis ended the third quarter at 74-57, re-establishing a 17-point lead.

KT also had a final chance to mount a comeback. With 7 minutes and 14 seconds remaining in KT's possession, Lee Woo-seok committed a foul, followed by Prime receiving a U-foul for a dangerous move.

Thanks to this, KT scored 5 points at once. Bass made free throws followed by a two-point shot. The score narrowed to 68-79.

However, Hyundai Mobis did not let the momentum slip any further. Bazley poured cold water on the opponent's pursuit with consecutive scores. Lee Seung-hyun also added strength with late-game scoring. Hyundai Mobis sealed the victory with Choi Gang-min's three-pointer at the end.
