Sonicboom made 23-of-26 free shots (88.5 percent) during the game. Strangely Samsung Thunders outrebounded Sonicboom 50-29 including a 20-7 advantage in offensive rebounds.

The best player for the winners was American power forward Paris Bass (207-1995, college: Detroit) who scored 22 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 blocks. The former international center Yoongi Ha (203-1999) chipped in 16 points and 8 rebounds. Five Sonicboom players scored in double figures. Jamaican center Kofi Cockburn (213-1999, college: Illinois) produced a double-double by scoring 39 points (!!!), 19 rebounds and 6 assists and center Weon-Seok Lee (203-2000) added 17 points and 8 rebounds respectively for the hosts. Both coaches used bench players in such tough game. Sonicboom moved-up to fifth place, which they share with Seoul Knights. Samsung Thunders lost third consecutive game. They keep the eighth position with five games lost. They share it with Sono SG. Sonicboom is looking forward to face Skygunners (#9) in Daegu in the next round. Samsung Thunders will play at home against the league's leader Wonju DB and are hoping to prove to their supporters that they can break losing series.
