In the 2024-2025 KCC professional basketball match against Wonju DB at Changwon Gymnasium on the 20th, LG won 81-68 with the performances of two players, Carl Tamayo, who scored 32 points, and Asem Maray, who recorded a triple double, and secured the second place by widening the gap with third-place Ulsan Hyundai Mobis to one game. On the other hand, DB, which is fighting for sixth place, the playoff's Maginot, has lost two consecutive games and is trailing the 7th place Jeonggwanjang by a half-game.
The first quarter was an outside shot match. The two teams confronted each with five 3-pointers, but LG, which has a high two-point shooting success rate, began to lead 29-19. In the second quarter, two 3-pointers by Doo Kyung-min burst, and LG began to widen the gap. Here, with about a minute left in the first half, DB manager Kim Joo-sung was sent off after being hit by a second technical foul while protesting the decision, and DB finished the first half with a 35-56 and 21 points behind.
However, after the start of the third quarter, the DB entered the chase 54-67 as Choi Sung-won and Lee Sun-bano scored three consecutive points, and Kang Sang-jae scored four consecutive points and Chinano Onuaku scored five consecutive points. LG Maray scored a triple-double in the third quarter by catching an offensive rebound.
LG also allowed the DB to chase in the fourth quarter, but Maray and Tamayo's combination play, which was put back in, succeeded in succession and headed for victory. Tamayo scored 32 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists, including 6 three points, and Maray scored 15 points, 14 rebounds, and 12 assists, respectively. No player in the DB scored a double-digit score except for Ethan Albano (13 points).
Meanwhile, in the match between Goyang Sono and Daegu Korea Gas Corporation at Sono Arena in Goyang, Sono, who combined 23 points with 19 points from Lee Jung-hyun and Alan Williams, won 90-85, reducing the win against ninth-ranked Samsung to a half-time and starting again.
