Professional basketball Samsung, record 7 consecutive wins in opening season... Kanter and McCullough 48 pieces collaboration (comprehensive)

SK overturns the 20-point gap and defeats LG... Sono wins 3 times in a row with Lee Jeong-hyun’s 3-point buzzer beater

Seoul Samsung, which had been at the bottom of the professional basketball league for the past five seasons, made a complete comeback after winning seven straight games in its opening game, the most since its founding.

Samsung won 91-71 in the 2026-2027 KCC professional basketball regular season away game held at Dongcheon Gymnasium in Ulsan on the 24th.

Samsung, which has not lost once since the first game of the season against Suwon KT on the 4th, set a new record for the most consecutive wins in a club opening season, surpassing the 6 consecutive wins in the 2003-2004 season.

If the game against Korea Gas Corporation in Daegu is scheduled on the 25th, Samsung will be on par with the record for the longest opening win streak in professional basketball history left by the East in the 2011-2012 season and the Orions in the 2014-2015 season.

Hyundai Mobis, whose foreign player Gage Prim was sidelined due to a knee injury in the previous game, ranked last with 2 wins and 6 losses in the season.

Samsung took a 27-21 lead in the first quarter thanks to Ho-bin Han and Justin Gutang each recording 4 assists and Kerem Kanter scoring 12 points.

In the second quarter, Samsung's lead continued with Chris McCullough scoring 11 points, but Hyundai Mobis, which strengthened its defense, also followed closely behind with Darius Bazley, who scored 22 points and 6 rebounds in the first half, leading the team to 39-41 at the end of the first half.

As the buzzer sounded at the end of the first half, Gutang hit an ultra-long 3-point shot from far behind the halfway line, and Samsung ended the first half with a slightly wider gap at 44-39.

Samsung gradually opened a gap in the second half, and with 5 minutes and 40 seconds left in the third quarter, Han Ho-bin's 3-point shot split the rim and ran away with a 57-45 lead. At the end of the third quarter, Lee Gyu-tae's outside shot exploded and the team ran away with a 71-51 lead.

Samsung increased the lead to 79-59 with Ho-bin Han's 3-point shot 6 minutes and 36 seconds into the fourth quarter, and Hyundai Mobis was unable to make a significant counterattack. With about 2 minutes left, both teams called in their main players, effectively dividing the game.

Samsung's two foreign players showed off with Kanter scoring 27 points and 11 rebounds and McCullough adding 21 points and 7 rebounds. Lee Kwan-hee added 15 points and 5 rebounds, and Gutang added 11 points, 7 assists and 6 rebounds.

At Hyundai Mobis, Bazley struggled with 33 points, 11 rebounds, and 5 assists, and Lee Woo-seok also posted 16 points and 5 rebounds, but the shine faded.

Seoul SK won its second win (one loss) of the season by beating Changwon LG 86-85 at Jamsil Student Gymnasium.

Even though SK was down by 20 points, 17-37, in the early second quarter, they made a comeback.

At the beginning of the second half, when the score was 43-51, Kim Nak-hyun's outside guns exploded one after another and counterattacked fiercely, and succeeded in turning the score around to 66-65 just before the end of the third quarter.

In the 4th quarter, a very close game with the largest gap between the two teams being 4 points, Kim Nak-hyeon's 3-point shot with 1 minute and 31 seconds left brought the score back to 86-85 and maintained the lead.

Nak-Hyeon Kim scored 19 points, including 5 3-point shots, Young-Jun Ahn had 16 points, 6 rebounds, and 6 assists, Hicks had 15 points, 10 rebounds, and Warney had 12 points, 7 rebounds, and 7 assists to lead SK to victory.

Archie Goodwin had 19 points and 5 rebounds, Marey had 17 points, 13 rebounds and 7 assists, and Yang Jun-seok had 16 points and 12 assists, but LG, who suffered the loss, finished tied for 7th place with 3 wins and 5 losses on the season.

Goyang Sono won 97-96 in the home game against Busan KCC, accumulating 3 consecutive wins.

Sono, who recorded 4 wins and 4 losses, took sole 5th place.

Sono lost 92-96 after giving up a 2-point shot to Heo Woong 17 seconds before the end of the 4th quarter, but Lee Jae-do made up for 2 points with a free throw with 6 seconds left, and then 'Ace' Lee Jeong-hyun's 3-point shot just before the end of the period, achieved a thrilling comeback victory.

Johnny O'Bryant contributed evenly to the victory with 23 points and 8 rebounds, Lee Jung-hyun scored 19 points, including the final score, and Scotty James and Kevin Kempao contributed 16 points each.

KCC, the winning team last season, had Sean Long with 19 points and 14 rebounds and Heo Hoon with 19 points and 8 assists, but was unable to overcome the final moments and fell into a swamp of 5 straight losses, tied for 9th place (2 wins, 6 losses) with Hyundai Mobis.
