Ulsan Hyundai Mobis broke the losing streak based on Seoul Samsung. On the other hand, Samsung, which had sought to win four consecutive rounds within two rounds for the first time in six years since November 2019, fell below the 50% winning rate again as its good momentum was cut off.
Hyundai Mobis won 92-79 against Samsung for the second time this season at Jamsil Indoor Gymnasium on the 3rd, ending its three consecutive losses.
In the first half, both teams had a multi-point race with amazing offensive concentration. Samsung began to warm up the game with a two-man game between Lee Won-seok and Lee Kwan-hee, who returned from injury, followed by Nicholson's scoring parade inside and outside, leading the first quarter 25-19. As Samsung, which had some leeway, changed all four players except Lee Kwan-hee in the second quarter, Hyundai Mobis reversed the score to 35-31 in the middle of the quarter as Romero scored a two-man game between Hammons and Park Moo-bin.
Then, Samsung re-inserted Nicholson and started the scoring streak again. Nicholson scored 27 points in the first half alone. However, Hyundai Mobis promised in the second half by preventing the gap from widening based on Park Moo-bin's amazing game operation, which delivered 11 assists in the first half alone. Samsung's 51-47 lead in the first half.
The second half unfolded in a completely different way as Hyundai Mobis expected. Hyundai Mobis pressed Samsung's fast attack pace with the power of defense, such as re-using veteran Ham Ji-hoon and effectively defending the region. Except for Nicholson, Samsung rarely scored, and in particular, it took a sudden brake on its scary scoring streak, with a field goal scoreless for nearly five minutes from the middle of the third quarter. In the meantime, Hyundai Mobis ran 67-59 as Park Moo-bin, who was focused on assist in the first half, used his fast feet to dig under the basket, and Hammons' one-handed dunk and three-point score were added.
In the fourth quarter, Samsung's turnovers eventually hampered the team, which was in a hurry after being blocked by a strong opponent's defense. Hyundai Mobis effectively decided the game by running to 81-65 with about four minutes left, with Hammons' Park Moo-bin and Ham Ji-hoon scoring consecutive points and Seo Myung-jin's three points.
Hammonds eventually scored 34 points, including three three points, and Park Moo-bin did not make a single turnover while recording as many as 14 assists. For Samsung, Nicholson scored 32 points, but the rest of the Korean players' poor scoring points lost.
