As a result, Samsung Life Insurance entered the top-tier competition again, approaching No. 2 Woori Bank by a radial train. On the other hand, KB Stars failed to overcome the physical burden caused by the bloody battle with Shinhan Bank two days ago, losing three consecutive games and being chased by Hana Bank at the bottom by a half-way difference.
Samsung Life Insurance succeeded in a complete victory without any significant crisis with perfect offense that three-way squads, including Lee Hae-ran, Keana Smith and Bae Hye-yoon, scored double-digit points lightly. After the start of the first quarter, all the starting members, including Jo Su-ah, Bae Hye-yoon, Kang Yoo-rim, Lee Hae-ran, and Kiana, alternately joined the scoring from both inside and outside, leading 18-4 greatly. It was a perfect teamwork with seven team assists in the first quarter.
On the other hand, KB attempted as many as five 3-pointers by Kang Yi-seul, Lee Chae-eun, and Heo Ye-eun with their aggressiveness in catching four offensive rebounds after the start of the game, but they failed to recover their disorganized shooting sense from the beginning.
Samsung Life had a 41-23 lead in the first half, and after the start of the third quarter, it was briefly silent on the opponent's drop zone and double team defense, but this time, Hirano Mitsuki and Lee Hae-ran easily broke the opponent's defense by making an outside shot.
Lee Hae-ran scored 22 points, his most tie this season, and Bae Hye-yoon scored 18 points and Kiana 15 points before stepping down from the court early. Samsung Life Insurance also took the time to put in new players such as Yoo Ha-eun from the second to third quarters following Choi Ye-seul. For KB Stars, the only comfort was that Nagata Moe (17 points) overcame his recent slump and scored double-digit points for the first time in a long time.
