Hyundai Mobis defeated KT with a ‘double-double with Prim and Long’… DB has 3 consecutive wins

(Goyang = Yonhap News) Reporter Choi Song-ah = Changwon LG, a professional basketball team, broke away from an 8-game losing streak by inflicting consecutive losses to Goyang Sono, which started anew under coach Kim Tae-sul.

LG defeated Sono 86-78 in the 2024-2025 KCC professional basketball regular league away game held at Goyang Sono Arena on the 30th.

LG, which had been on an 8-game losing streak since the game against Sono on the 26th of last month, won for the first time in a month and maintained 9th place with 4 wins and 8 losses on the season.

Coach Kim Seung-gi stepped down due to controversy over assaulting a player, and Sono, who played the second game under new coach Kim Tae-sul, suffered from 5 consecutive losses and fell to 7th place with only 5 wins and 7 losses.

After suffering the bitter taste of defeat following his professional coaching debut against Wonju DB on the 28th, coach Kim Tae-sul’s first win was postponed again to the next date.

LG, who was desperate to escape a losing streak, took a tight lead of 48-43 in the first half with all nine players scoring evenly, and the close game continued in the third quarter.

At 52-56, Sono scored consecutive points through Alan Williams’ 3-point play and Lee Jae-do’s under-the-goal penetration to turn the tide to 57-56 with 2 minutes and 16 seconds left in the third quarter, but LG came back with four consecutive points by Park Jung-hyun. At the end of the quarter, they were slightly ahead, 62-58.

LG scored 12 points in the fourth quarter, 62-61, including 3-point shots by Park Jung-hyun and Yoo Yoo-sang, and started to take the lead by 13 points with 6 minutes and 55 seconds left.

Sono trailed by 76-81 when Choi Seung-wook completed a ‘4-point play’ with a 3-point shot and an additional free throw 1 minute and 11 seconds before the end, but was unable to get over the hump after that.

LG’s Carl Tamayo had 21 points and 9 rebounds, Park Jung-hyun had 13 points, Yoo Yu-sang had 10 points, and Daryl Monroe had 8 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists to help the team escape their losing streak.

Jeon Seong-hyun, who played as Sono’s signature shooter before moving to LG this season, scored 8 points, including a 3-point shot, in his first game visiting Goyang.

Sono’s Lee Jae-do had 26 points and 5 assists, the most for both teams, but was unable to smile, and Williams, who returned that day after leaving the game due to a phlegm injury, scored 16 points and 10 rebounds.

At Suwon KT Arena, Ulsan Hyundai Mobis defeated Suwon KT 85-73 and rose to second place (8 wins, 4 losses).

At one point in the 3rd quarter, they were behind by 33 points and then started to catch up, but KT, which failed to win 5 games in a row, ended up with 8 wins and 5 losses, falling from 2nd to 4th place.

Hyundai Mobis’ Gage Prim had 19 points and 12 rebounds, Park Moo-bin had 15 points, and Sean Long had 14 points and 12 rebounds.

Hyundai Mobis, led by Prim and Long, was ahead in rebounds by 44 to 33.

For KT, Moon Seong-gon scored 20 points and 9 rebounds, and Choi Jin-kwang scored 14 points.

It also remained a concern for KT that foreign player Jordan Morgan, who was brought in to replace the underperforming Jeremiah Tillman and played in the second game of the day, missed the game due to a hamstring injury in the middle of the first quarter.

Wonju DB won 76-66 in an away game against Samsung in Seoul, earning their third consecutive win.

DB, with 5 wins and 8 losses, maintained 8th place.

In particular, DB has won 9 consecutive wins against Samsung since March of last year.

Chinanu Onuaku had 20 points and 14 rebounds, Park In-woong had 19 points and 7 rebounds, including 4 outside shots, Seo Min-soo had 14 points and 7 rebounds, and Ethan Albano had 10 points and 5 assists.

Marcus Derrickson struggled with 21 points and 12 rebounds, and Lee Won-seok scored 15 points and 9 rebounds, but Samsung, which suffered three consecutive losses, remained in last place (2 wins, 9 losses).
