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

Hyundai Mobis defeated Suwon KT 96-80 in an away game at the Suwon KT Sonicboom Arena on the 18th, in a match of the 2026~2027 KCC Pro Basketball League.

With this victory, Hyundai Mobis improved to a record of two wins and four losses. Most importantly, the team finally escaped the slump of a franchise-record 15-game road losing streak that had continued since the game against Anyang Jeonggwangjang in January of this year.

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

For Hyundai Mobis on this day, guard Seo Myung-jin's offensive power exploded for a rare occasion. He scored a season-high 13 points to contribute to the victory.

Foreign player Gagee Prime displayed his consistent presence with 20 points, seven rebounds, and five assists. Darius Bazley also recorded a double-double with 23 points and 10 rebounds, while Lee Woo-seok contributed by scoring 20 points.

After the game, Hyundai Mobis head coach Yang Dong-geun expressed satisfaction with his players' stable game management.

Head coach Yang stated, "We reduced turnovers, and our defense went well as planned," adding, "Because we reduced turnovers, we created more offensive opportunities, and it was good that we converted those into shots."

He did not place much significance on breaking the long 15-game road losing streak.

Head coach Yang smiled and said, "Aigo, does it really mean anything?" before adding, "It is important to do our best in each game, one by one."

He continued, "I have experienced both winning and losing streaks during my playing days," emphasizing, "Each game is precious."

He offered both praise and advice to Seo Myung-jin, who scored 13 points on this day.

Head coach Yang said, "It is time for him to show performances like today's," adding, "He made a shot-down shot for the first time in a long while. I hope it becomes an opportunity for him to regain his confidence."

He continued by praising Seo, saying, "Myung-jin providing offensive strength from the early stages of the game was a huge help to the team."

However, he also emphasized the importance of consistency. Head coach Yang stated, "We must eliminate inconsistency," explaining, "I do not want to see fluctuations where he scores 30 points against teams with weak defense and scores zero points against teams with strong defense. He can become a better player if he eliminates those aspects."

He also offered advice regarding Seo Myung-jin's errors near the end of the game.

Head coach Yang noted, "There is a chronic tendency for turnovers to occur in the late stages of games, which sometimes causes him to become discouraged," adding, "When you watch, turnovers always come out at those moments. If he learns to hold back just a little and play in such situations, he will improve further."

Seo Myung-jin also showed a calm reaction regarding the end of the 15th-game road losing streak.

He said, "We players did not talk much about the road losing streak among ourselves," adding, "Our goal is always to win. Rather than being conscious of the losing streak, we prepared with the mindset of winning as many games as possible."
