Anyang Jeong Kwan-jang avoided consecutive losses instead of giving Busan KCC the most consecutive losses.

Jeong Kwan-jang won 76-67 thanks to Dionte Burton's last-minute performance in the home game against KCC during the '2024-2025 KCC Professional Basketball' held at Jeong Kwan-jang Arena in Anyang on the 10th.

Jeong Kwan-jang, who recorded 14 wins and 24 losses, trailed seventh-ranked KCC by one game, and KCC lost six consecutive games in eight years.

It was a meeting between the two teams mixed with love and hatred. The atmosphere is polarizing. Although Jeong Kwan-jang lost to the strongest Seoul SK two days ago, he has developed his dream of reaching the semi-finals by winning five consecutive games before. If he wins the match against KCC in seventh place on the day, it was an opportunity to narrow his gap with Wonju DB (16 wins and 21 losses) in sixth place to 2.5 games.

On the other hand, KCC was experiencing the most consecutive losses (five consecutive losses) this season for the second time. If the game is lost on this day, it will be the most humiliated in eight years since 2017. The opponent was Jeong Kwan-jang when he lost six consecutive games on March 18, 2017. In other words, there is more reason not to repeat the nightmare of eight years ago.

Moreover, the two teams had mixed feelings in their fourth round showdown on the 4th. Jeong Kwan-jang, who was at the bottom until the third round, won the match against KCC at the time, recording the most five consecutive wins in the season, saving the spark of the round of six, and KCC fell further into a swamp of losing consecutive games in the wake of the defeat in the match against Jeong Kwan-jang.

It was Jeong Kwan-jang who laughed until the end of the match when 'Hope for the Round of 6' and 'Escape from a losing streak' collided. KCC has been frustrated since the beginning of the game. Lee Ho-hyun, Heo Woong, Song Kyo-chang, Choi Jun-yong, and Cady Lahren's best starters failed to show their power. Choi Joon-yong and Song Kyo-chang were in the fifth game after returning from injury, but they did not recover their sense of the game. On top of that, KCC committed five turnovers, and Larren went back and forth between 'Cold Tang' and 'Hot Tang'. It was good to contribute with two block shots and six rebounds, but he missed easy shots in a row and broke the record with two turnovers.

Jeong Kwan-jang was not satisfactory enough to have a field goal success rate of only 36% in the first quarter, but KCC was so sluggish that he was able to take the lead. In addition, Park Ji-hoon enjoyed the thrill of the buzzer beater, which he succeeded in, and successfully finished the first quarter 21-14. In the second quarter, KCC tried to change to six-men such as Lee Ju-young and Jung Chang-young instead of giving starter Choi Joon-yong and Lee Ho-hyun a good rest, but there was no income. Jeong Kwan-jang maintained a seven-point lead with a solid outer defense that allowed his opponent's three-point shot to only one attempt while the shooting success rate was still low.

There was a slight fluctuation in the third quarter. Choi Jun-yong, who took a break, added 7 points and 2 rebounds, and Laren also started to recover from the slump until the first half. On the other hand, unlike KCC, which reduced the number of turnovers to '0', Jeong Kwan-jang added two more and showed a two-point shooting success rate (36%) that was less than the 3-point shooting success rate (38%), allowing him to chase down to 58-55.

The fourth quarter of fate, Jeong Kwan-jang, who overcame the crisis well. When KCC tried to chase down, Dionte Burton sprayed cold water. The decisive hit came two minutes and 18 seconds before the end. Lahren made a mistake when he grabbed a defensive rebound and was intercepted by Burton, who made a 72-65 run under the basket. Jeong Kwan-jang succeeded in continuing the victory he caught here to the end.
