Professional basketball LG went on a winning streak for the first time in the new year and rose to a tie for third place.
LG won 71-68 in a visiting game against KT on the 28th, earning its 22nd win (13 losses) of the season. LG, which dropped from 2nd to 4th place after 6 consecutive wins until the Hyundai Mobis match on December 11 last year, ended in a tie with KT for 3rd place with its 48-day winning streak. LG's main scorer, foreign player Assem Marey, is out of action due to injury.
However, Juan Tello, the only remaining foreign player on this day, recorded a double-double (14 points, 11 rebounds), and Yang Hong-seok (12 points), Lee Seung-woo and Lee Jae-do (11 points) also contributed to the attack with double-digit scores.
On this day, Sono won by 1 point (77-76) over Korea Gas Corporation, which was on a 3-game winning streak. Sono was behind by 15 points until 55 seconds before the end of the third quarter, but then turned the tide by scoring 18 points while not giving up a single point to the opponent. The two teams were tied 73-73 with 32 seconds left in the fourth quarter. Afterwards, Sono won the game with Lee Jung-hyun hitting a 2-point shot 15 seconds before the end of the game and Park Jong-ha hitting both free throws from an opponent's foul 3 seconds ago. 19가이드03
