Samsung Life Insurance won 60-53 in an away game against Bucheon Hana Bank in the regular league of the '2024-2025 Hana Bank Women's Professional Basketball' held at Bucheon Gymnasium on the 22nd.
With this, Samsung Life Insurance won four consecutive games and successfully escaped from a slump of four consecutive losses at the beginning of the season. On the other hand, Hana Bank fell into a quagmire for five consecutive losses, winning two games and losing six games, tied for the lowest with Shinhan Bank.
Samsung Life Insurance overcame a 13-15 deficit in the first quarter and scored only 13 points in the second quarter instead of sweeping 22 points, marking the beginning of a reversal.
Samsung Life Insurance, which took the lead in the first half, virtually laid the foundation for a complete victory with its stronger defense in the third quarter. Hana Bank suffered from poor performance in the third quarter alone, with only six points added.
In the meantime, Samsung Life added 16 points with Kang Yoo-rim, Bae Hye-yoon and Jo Su-ah's internal and external performances, and it was already leading 50-34 in the third quarter, approaching victory.
Hana Bank continued to chase Samsung Life Insurance in the fourth quarter, taking advantage of its dull scoring ability. However, the explosive power did not follow to close the gap that had already been widened.
In Samsung Life Insurance, Kiana Smith (16 points), Lee Hae-ran (12 points), and Kang Yoo-rim (11 points) took the lead in offense, while Bae Hye-yoon held firm under the basket with 9 points and 8 rebounds.
