The second game between the two teams will be held at the same location at 2pm on the 6th.

With this victory, KCC broke its recent 7-game losing streak in the playoffs.

Also, since the launch of professional basketball in 1997, KCC has met SK five times in the playoffs or championship game and has never been able to win the series, but this time, they had the opportunity to defeat SK for the first time.

KCC is a team that is called a 'super team' ahead of the opening of this season and is a strong candidate for the championship.

In addition to the existing Heo Woong, Lee Seung-hyun, and La Gun-ah, Choi Jun-yong, who obtained free agent (FA) status from SK ahead of the opening of the season, was recruited.

In addition, Song Kyo-chang, the regular league's Most Valuable Player (MVP), joined after being discharged mid-season, and new foreign player Alize DeShawn Johnson's skills were also at a high level.

KCC, which had a 'national team lineup', however, remained in 5th place with 30 wins and 24 losses in the regular league, and KCC coach Jeon Chang-jin even blamed himself at the PO Media Day on the 2nd, saying, "The 5th place result is shabby and embarrassing."

However, on this day, they regained their status as a ‘super team’ by winning the first away game against SK, ranked 4th in the regular league (31 wins, 23 losses), by an unexpected 18-point margin.

KCC, who had a tight first quarter of 18-19, succeeded in gaining air superiority in the second quarter and gradually took the lead.

KCC, which was ahead of SK by 16-9 in rebounds in the second quarter, had Johnson with 8 points and 11 rebounds, holding SK Jamil Warney to just 3 points.

SK, where Warney's score was not as high as expected, had Ahn Young-jun diligently chasing down points by going in and out of the area, but they were down 34-41 in the first half.

In the third quarter, KCC took the win, with Heo Woong and La Gun-ah leading the attack, widening the score gap to 61-45.

Laguna, who rested for the full 10 minutes of the second quarter, showed no signs of losing in the matchup with Warney, who played the full 30 minutes until the third quarter.
