SK won 96 to 86 after a close game against Busan KCC in the away game of the '2024-2025 KCC Professional Basketball' held at Sajik Indoor Gymnasium in Busan on the 29th.
It was a meeting between the two teams, which became another big match. It became a similar situation to the top-notch duel in the second round showdown on the 10th. At that time, SK was held back while trying to win the season's most 10 consecutive wins. It was also news that KCC, which was on the verge of losing consecutive games, prevented the lead, but it was more popular that Choi Joon-yong and Leon Williams, who played for SK, took the lead by combining 63 points. In particular, Choi Joon-yong was at the center of the topic by setting the record for the most points and most 3-pointers (6 points) in a game with 42 points, 13 rebounds, and 4 assists.
The match between SK's leader, Suseong, and KCC is a close match. In the previous game, Ulsan Hyundai Mobis caught Goyang Sono 84-67 and trailed below the chin with 16 wins and 7 losses and second place behind SK in the winning rate without a ride. SK is in a hurry.

As expected, Choi Jun-yong showed a strong desire to win from the first quarter. It wasn't explosive in personal records like the last game, but he was angry when he made a shooting mistake, and he stomped his feet when his teammate's fastball pass didn't come in time. When he was replaced by Lee Seung-hyun in about six quarters in the first quarter, he went to the corner of the gym and threw something and blamed his poor performance.
When Choi Jun-yong was blocked, SK got off to a good start with a 28-19 lead in the first quarter. However, KCC's scary counterattack in the second quarter. This is because Choi Jun-yong gained strength again, and Heo Woong and Dionte Burton supported him solidly. Burton, who was humiliated by 「'2 options" Williams in the last SK match, seemed to be showing 'atonement performance'. Thanks to that, KCC, who succeeded in 48-42, turned the tables, allowed the team to turn around again in the third quarter and then entered a bloody battle in the fourth quarter. However, an unexpected variable occurred in about two minutes. Choi Jun-yong, who had two fouls, was sent off with five fouls in a row in 16 seconds while matching up with Choi Boo-kyung. It was an incident in which he failed to control himself, such as being overly excited about the decision.

After entering the overtime, SK's reliable foreign player Jamil Warney entered the game. Warney swept eight points alone in overtime, shaking KCC, which was loose under the basket due to Choi Jun-yong's departure. In the end, KCC missed the rabbit in front of their eyes, and SK kept the lead alone.
Meanwhile, Changwon LG defeated Wonju DB 94-60 and won eight consecutive games.
