Changwon LG secured second place.
Korea Gas Corporation won 83-74 against Suwon KT in the '2024-25 KCC Professional Basketball Round 6' held at Daegu Gymnasium on the 5th. Korea Gas Corporation, which has achieved four consecutive victories (28 wins, 25 losses), is in fifth place.
KT (32 wins, 21 losses), which lost, has confirmed LG's (34 wins, 19 losses) second place even if they win their final match. Hyundai Mobis (31 wins, 21 losses) still has a chance to finish third if they win all their remaining two games for a possible 33 wins.
From Korea Gas Corporation's perspective, it is better for KT to finish fourth as they lead in head-to-head with a record of 4 wins and 2 losses. In contrast, Hyundai Mobis trails with a record of 1 win and 4 losses, which is somewhat burdensome. This is why Korea Gas Corporation needs to push down KT to fourth place.
Korea Gas Corporation took the lead from the first quarter with a score of 20-13, holding off a late rally to win by nine points. All 11 players who participated from Korea Gas Corporation scored. Andrew Nicholson was the centerpiece, scoring 24 points.
KT’s Heo Hoon, who injured his thigh, demonstrated determination by scoring 22 points, but it was excessive. Rookie of the Year candidate Park Sung-jae stood out with 14 points.
