KT won 86:68 with Huh Hoon effect after returning from injury in the home game against KCC held at KT Sonic Boom Arena in Suwon on the 1st.
KT, which recorded 14 wins and 10 losses, trailed No. 2 Ulsan Hyundai Mobis (17 wins and 7 losses) by three games, and KCC lost three consecutive games.
It was a mixed race with joy and sorrow with 'Injury Issue'. Before the start of the game, it was not difficult to predict the victory or defeat from the atmosphere of the locker room of both teams. KCC coach Jeon Chang-jin sighed deeply, saying, `Coaches should go out and play.' KT coach Song Young-jin sighed, saying, `Heo Hoon is going to play for about 15-20 minutes.'

On the other hand, key resources Heo Hoon and Moon Sung-gon returned at the same time at KT. Heo Hoon, who suffered a broken thumb in his left hand, will play in 48 days since November 14 last year. Coach Song said, `I still have pain, but since the player himself says it's okay, I'll play carefully for 15-20 minutes.' On top of that, Moon Sung-gon also returned in two weeks after shaking off his thigh injury. KT, which has endured the injury gap well so far, has been on the rise with the recent return of Ha Yoon-ki and Moon Jung-hyun, and even gained the addition of ace.

With Lee Seung-hyun taking the center stage in the first quarter, the starting team's defense stood out. KCC, which succeeded in taking the lead 24-21, was chased by Heo Hoon's leading of the game 'Unprecedented', which returned just before the end of the first quarter in the second quarter, but did not allow the team to turn the tables with Sixman's outer guns and activities. At the end of the second quarter, Heo Woong, who received a pass following Lee Seung-hyun's rebound, gave a 'Show' that made the half-line buzzer beater. As a result, KCC, who ran 46-42, was not discouraged. In the KCC atmosphere, there was a person who sprayed cold water early in the third quarter, so it was a mercenary Dionte button instead of a 'Sixman'.
Burton made a pass miss when he was blocked from breaking through the basket in the first minute of the third quarter. This was the beginning of Jeon Joon-beom's U foul to stop KT Moon Jung-hyun's quick attack. Soon after, KCC allowed a 48-48 tie. In a 50-51 deficit, he then blew an out-of-bound pass attack chance with 4 seconds left in the attack time with 'Shot Clock Virology'.
KT, on the other hand, took advantage of the momentum of the turnaround thanks to the returning troubleshooter Huh Hoon's three consecutive points in the second half of the quarter. In the fourth quarter, Huh Hoon took the lead in widening the gap with a solo layup and an outside shot following an interception from the beginning.
