Men's professional basketball Ulsan Hyundai Mobis beat Seoul Samsung to win its second straight game.
Hyundai Mobis won 87:71 in the away game of Seoul Samsung in the '2024-2025 KCC Professional Basketball' held at Jamsil Indoor Gymnasium on the 2nd. Hyundai Mobis led by 32-17 and 15 points from the first quarter, and predicted victory by widening the gap to 69-49 22 seconds before the end of the third quarter. Lee Woo-seok had 17 points and 7 rebounds, including 5 3-pointers, and Sean Long had 19 points and 8 rebounds. On the other hand, Samsung failed to perform properly as Lee Dae-sung was virtually out for the season due to a ruptured cruciate ligament, Park Min-chae was excluded from the team due to an ankle injury, and even foreign player Kofi Coburn injured his ankle.
MVP Lee Woo-seok, who led the attack on the day, said in an interview after the victory, `I feel good because I won comfortably. The coach emphasized the ending, but I'm glad that he finished well. "It's difficult to regain the flow when the flow goes over, but there was also a confusing side in the previous game because such a scene came out in the match in the second half. The reason for the victory was analyzed by saying, "Let's focus more at halftime in the second quarter led to a good result." Lee Woo-seok credited coach Yang Dong-geun for his remarkable improvement in his three-point shooting sense this season. "Coach Yang's help is great. He pointed out every time he put strength in his body, so he created a natural posture. I'm trying not to forget my posture when I go in well."
Meanwhile, Hyundai Mobis ranked second (9 wins and 4 losses) alone by narrowing its gap with the top-ranked Seoul SK (11 wins and 2 losses) to two games, while the lowest-ranked Samsung (2 wins and 10 losses) fell into a four-game losing streak due to the loss on the day.
