Sono came from behind to win 79-64 in an away game against the 「2024-2025 KCC Professional Basketball" DB held at Wonju Gymnasium on the 4th.
With the loss, DB tied for the lowest with Seoul Samsung with six consecutive losses (one win). The two teams met at the end of the cliff. DB, who was the favorite to win this season, was struggling in the quagmire of five consecutive losses. Sono won four consecutive games and lost for the first time in a row of the season. In particular, the shock of the lowest-ranked Samsung's first win of the season (76:78 loss) on the 2nd was not small.
The more urgent side is the DB of a long losing streak, but it was too much to predict victory. Sono was superior in terms of relative performance this season, and above all, ace Kim Jong-kyu was absent from the DB.
Kim Jong-kyu, who missed the day following the match against Suwon KT on the 2nd, was recently hospitalized for a thorough examination due to severe knee pain. The results of the detailed examination are scheduled to be released on the 6th, and you need to take a break for two to three weeks due to pain.
Were Sono players facing this kind of DB negligent. He was unexpectedly drawn early in the game. Sono's self-destructive play was more than he struggled with DB's defense. With frequent turnovers, I didn't make any significant scenes in the attack. Core foreign player Alan Williams' poor condition was also the main reason for the early inferiority.

DB also did not have a good performance due to Chinanu Onuaku's absurd turnovers and frustrating scoring ability, but Sono's poor shooting condition was stronger, so he could hardly make a foothold for counterattack. As for Sono, it was fortunate that Sixman Kim Min-wook chased 31-34 with a buzzer beater at the end of the second quarter.
However, the buzzer beater was a signal of counterattack. Ace Lee Jung-hyun, who made a two-point shot immediately after the start of the third quarter, immediately scored his team's first three points on the day and succeeded in turning the tables 36-34 for the first time. Sono, who succeeded in turning it over, became fierce again. Williams, who was sluggish until the first half, belatedly raised his energy level and launched a reckless post attack.
There were times when Sono was caught in a jam due to still difficulty in shooting, but Lee Jung-hyun was able to continue the lead because he played a role in giving him breathing space each time. Sono, who took the lead, laughed again at Kim Min-wook's buzzer beater show at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Nine minutes and 12 seconds before the end of the fourth quarter, when the score was 56-48, he was chased by the right baseline during the attack time and threw an outside shot, which became a thrilling buzzer beater.
DB seemed to be chasing Yoo Hyun-joon and Kang Sang-jae's three-point shots, but he fell into a losing streak on his own due to as many as 20 turnovers.
