The teams have now bigger motivation at this stage of Regular Season. Every game can be crucial and decide about teams' position at the end of Regular Season.
The most surprising game was a loss of top-ranked Samsung Thunders (31-16) in Seoul on Sunday night. Hosts were rolled over by seventh ranked LG Sakers (21-26) 91-64. The game without a history. LG Sakers led from the first minutes and controlled entire game increasing their lead in each quarter. They dominated down low during the game scoring 68 of its points in the paint compared to Samsung Thunders' 40. LG Sakers looked well-organized offensively handing out 28 assists comparing to just 13 passes made by Samsung Thunders' players. Great defensive blocking was one of the keys in this match when LG Sakers made 7 blocks.

Goyang Orions (KBL) strengthened their roster with addition of experienced 34-year old American (has also Ivorian passport) guard Doron Perkins (189-83kg-83, college: Santa Clara). He played most recently at Naft Abadan in Iranian Superleague. In 29 games he recorded 12.3ppg, 5.9rpg, 3.5apg and 2.0spg last season. Perkins helped them to make it to the final. Great season indeed as he was voted to Asia-Basket.com All-Iranian Superleague 2nd Team. The previous (15-16) season he played at Yesilgiresun Bld in Turkish BSL where in 28 games he averaged 10.9ppg, 5.9rpg, 4.0apg and 1.3spg. Perkins has tried to make it to the NBA and played in the NBA Pro Summer League in 2012. Among other achievements he won Euroleague championship title in 2013. Perkins received also Eurobasket.com All-Israeli League Player of the Year award and Eurobasket.com All-Israeli League Import Player of the Year award back in 2009. He is a very experienced player. Thanks to Perkins' pro career he managed to play on three different continents (Europe, Asia and of course North America) in eleven different countries. Perkins has played previously professionally in Belgium (Bree), China (Long Lions), Germany (EWE Baskets), Greece (Olympiacos), Italy (MIA-RO Cantu), Japan, Russia (Krasny Oktyabr), Spain (Baskonia), Ukraine (BC Donetsk), Israel (Maccabi Fox Tel-Aviv and Maccabi Haifa) and Turkey (Besiktas). He attended Santa Clara University until 2005 and it will be his 13th (hopefully lucky) (!!!) season in pro basketball. The scouts decsribe him following way:
A good point guard, who is able to run the offense at any tempo and is very effective at the defnsive side. Can score in penetration, steals lots of balls, he's a very good rebounder for his size. He should improve his outside shooting, however, to become a top league material.
