KT won 69-58 thanks to Huh Hoon's strong performance and Park Joon-young's surprise performance in the home game against Anyang Jeong Kwan-jang held at KT Arena in Suwon on the 11th.
KT recorded 6 wins and 4 losses along with 2 consecutive wins, and Jeong Kwan-jang failed to challenge for 3 consecutive wins and dropped half steps to 7th place (4 wins and 6 losses).
Jeong Kwan-jang, who recently set the stage for his revival with two consecutive wins after a severe slump, and KT, who was considered the favorite but was satisfied with five wins and four losses in the first round due to Ha Yoon-ki and Moon Jung-hyun's injury, are facing a return match in four days.
In fact, KT is a team that is grateful for Jeong Kwan-jang. He met KT on the 7th, when he was hovering at the bottom with 2 wins and 5 losses since the opening of the season, and after a thrilling 74-73 victory, he met his first consecutive winning mode of the season.
If he wins his first three consecutive games of the season and reaches a 50% winning rate (5 wins and 5 losses), he will be 'Golden Prize Addition' since he took advantage of his energy from four days ago. Bae Byung-joon, who held out with a high-sensitivity three-point shot to prevent the team from falling further into the abyss, was in good shape, and Caddy Lahren was also recovering from his initial slump.
In response, KT succeeded in escaping a losing streak by winning 65-59 after a low-scoring match against Changwon LG on the 9th. Multiple blood matches are essential on this day in order to leap to the top of the list by riding a winning streak again.
Perhaps because the two teams met, it was fierce from the beginning of the game. At the beginning of the first quarter, Jeong Kwan-jang briefly took the lead and allowed a turnaround, and then rarely regained the momentum that was lost once. This is because KT's ace Huh Hoon led the court with different pass games and breakthrough power, and bothered Jeong Kwan-jang with timely internal and external shots.

Four minutes and 27 seconds before the end of the third quarter, Park Joon-young made a two-point shot that made the first double-digit score gap (51-40) of the day. In the meantime, Heo Hoon continued his active performance to the extent that he already made a double-double (12 points, 10 assists) in the third quarter.
Jeong Kwan-jang, who succeeded in a fierce chase in about a minute in the fourth quarter, followed 52-61 and a four-minute battle was held. Turnovers and shooting mistakes continued to occur due to each other's strong defense. Five minutes and 16 seconds before the end of the fourth quarter, the boring battle calmed down for a moment only after Huh Hoon succeeded the floater. Jeong Kwan-jang still suffered from a goal famine, with Lee Won-dae's outer shot and Bae Byung-joon and Jung Hyo-geun's easy shot continuously turning away from the rim.
On the other hand, KT effectively booked a victory 2 minutes and 28 seconds before the end when Huh Hoon ran 66-54 thanks to a successful foul free throw. One minute and 41 seconds ago, Heo Hoon made a hot fan service with a three-point shot to seal the victory before taking a bench break.
