Changwon LG's Heung basketball team beat even Busan's KCC, which boasted an incredible offense centered on "early attacks." With Pazooq's nine-game winning streak, LG is effectively in second place and can advance directly to the semifinal playoff.

LG defeated KCC 101-92 in an away game in the 2023-2024 Cheongjang Professional Basketball Regular League held at Sajik Gymnasium in Busan on the 22nd.

It is the first time in nine years that LG has won nine games in a row since January 2015. With 34 wins and 17 losses, LG widened its gap versus third-ranked Suwon KT (31 wins and 19 losses) to 2.5 games. Currently, LG has three more games and KT has four more games to play. LG has lost all three games, and KT has to win all four games to change its ranking. In fact, there is a slim chance that the team will turn around. KCC, ranked fifth, lost 23 times (27 wins) due to being blocked by LG.

In the previous six games, KCC showed off incredible firepower by posting an average of 103 points through "early attack." On the same day, he also scored 52 points in the first half to push LG, which boasts of strong defense.

However, things changed in the second half when LG stepped up the pace and countered with an attack. In addition, he made seven 3-pointers in the third quarter alone, turning the game around 69-67 with three minutes left in the quarter.

To make matters worse, KCC started to lose scoring ability after being pushed by LG's pace. Even after the fourth quarter began, they only scored two points in just two minutes. Meanwhile, LG gradually scored more points and ended the game by widening the gap to double digits.

For LG, as many as six players scored double-digit points, including Lee Jae-do (20 points), Asem Maray (17 points, 16 rebounds), Jung Hee-jae (16 points), Justin Gutang (14 points), Yang Hong-seok (11 points), and Lee Kwan-hee (10 points). He performed evenly. KCC fought hard by scoring 26 points alone.
