LG, blocked by SK’s defense, scored only 10 points in the second quarter, with Lee Kwan-hee 8 points and Seo Min-soo 2 points.

In the third quarter, LG, who had improved their breathing, started chasing.

LG narrowed the gap to 42-45 in the middle of the quarter with Lee Kwan-hee’s three 3-pointers and Asem Marray’s goal, who held out from under the goal.

SK, returning after operation time, seemed to overcome the crisis with Choi Jun-yong’s outer cannon and Ahn Young-joon’s quick-run goal, but LG, led by Abdul Malik Abu, finished the quarter 52-56.
