Samsung Life Insurance won 65-61 with Lee Hae-ran's double-double (16 points, 10 rebounds) performance in the home game against Busan BNK in the 2024-2025 season at Yongin Indoor Gymnasium on the 19th.
Samsung Life Insurance, which blocked the lead BNK's winning streak instead of avoiding consecutive losses, recorded 13 wins and 8 losses, trailing second-ranked Asan Woori Bank by half a game, and the gap between BNK and Woori Bank narrowed to 1.5 games.
Samsung Life Insurance, which suffered a 62-63 defeat after being hit by Sonia's winning shot 3.5 seconds before the end of the game in Busan on the 16th. Ha Sang-yoon, head coach of Samsung Life Insurance, who faced off at home in three days, recalled the last game, saying, `I'm upset, but the players will be more upset.'
As he said, Samsung Life Insurance players seemed to have come out of the game. As if venting from the beginning of the game, BNK was driven wildly. At the heart of it was Keana Smith. Director Ha's hunch met. In an interview before the game, jokingly "I heard (Smith's) mother came again today. Coach Ha expected a special effort, saying, "My mother played well in the game."

When Smith scored his first score 3:16 before the end of the first quarter, the score was 19-5 and Samsung Life Insurance was far ahead. Ido Smith opened the second quarter with a 23-11 run and scored the first point with a 3-pointer.
Since then, Smith has continued to neutralize BNK's willingness to chase by operating the scoring gun in earnest, unlike the first quarter, when he focused on assist. Still holding a double-digit scoring lead, Smith was setting a personal best with 13 points and five assists when he finished the third quarter 49-36.
There was also a spark in the fourth quarter, which was the match. BNK chased Shim Soo-hyun by a single-digit score gap (44-53) in about two minutes with Shim Soo-hyun's three consecutive points, and followed up by six points due to the continued success of chasing points by Ahn Hye-ji, Shim Soo-hyun and Kim Sonia. But that was it. Smith seemed to face a crisis as he fell to the bench due to an injury, but Samsung Life Insurance, which Lee Hae-ran, who played a troubleshooter inside and outside, held out, had nothing to be afraid of. In the end, Lee Hae-ran added one free throw to virtually seal the victory 10.9 seconds before the end.
