The best player for the winners was American forward Marcus Landry (201-85, college: Wisconsin) who scored 34 points (!!!) and 5 rebounds. International guard Hoon Heo (181-95) chipped in 25 points and 8 assists. American forward Aaron Haynes (201-81, college: Boise St.) produced a double-double by scoring 30 points, 6 rebounds and 10 assists (was perfect 8-for-8 from the free throw line) and international Joon-Young Choi (200-94) added 19 points respectively for the hosts. Both teams had four players each who scored in double figures. SK Knights' coach Kyung-Eun Moon rotated twelve players in this game, but that didn't help. KT Sonicboom moved-up to third place, which they share with LG Sakers. Defending champion SK Knights keep the ninth position with 29 games lost. KT Sonicboom's next round opponent will be bottom-ranked Samsung Thunders (#10) in Seoul and are hoping to win another game. SK Knights will play at home against KCC Egis and it may be a tough game between close rivals. Top scorers: KT Sonicboom: M.Landry 34+5reb+2ast, H.Heo 25+2reb+8ast, T.Kim 14+4reb+4ast, Y.Kim 12+8reb+1ast, M.Kim 7+4reb+1ast, S.Yoo 3+1reb+1ast SK Knights: A.Haynes 30+6reb+10ast, J.Choi 19+4reb+3ast, G.Eon Kim 15+5reb+2ast, C.Lofton 10+2reb+2ast, K.Byun 6+1reb, W.Kim 4+4reb
Rather expected game when 6th ranked Goyang Orions (23-23) lost to fourth ranked LG Sakers (24-21) in Changwon 87-92. 30 personal fouls committed by Goyang Orions helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities. The best player for the winners was Central African-American power forward James Mays (205-86, college: Clemson) who had a double-double by scoring 30 points and 13 rebounds. American point guard Joshia Gray (185-93, college: LSU) chipped in 19 points and 6 rebounds. Four LG Sakers players scored in double figures. American power forward Darryl Monroe (201-86, college: George Mason) produced a double-double by scoring 31 points, 14 rebounds and 4 assists and the former international forward Il-Young Heo (197-85) added 8 points and 8 rebounds respectively for the guests. Goyang Orions' coach Il-Seung Choo tried various players' combinations and tested in total twelve players in this game, but that didn't help. LG Sakers moved-up to third place, which they share with KT Sonicboom. Goyang Orions at the other side dropped to the fifth position with 23 games lost. LG Sakers' next round opponent will be Anyang KGC (#8) at home which should be theoretically an easy game. Goyang Orions will play against the league's leader Mobis Phoebus in Ulsan and hope to win that game. Top scorers: LG Sakers: J.Mays 30+13reb+2ast, J.Gray 19+6reb+2ast, S.Cho 12+7reb+3ast, W.Lee 11+1reb+2ast, J.Hoon 8+4reb, B.Kang 5+4reb+4ast Goyang Orions: D.Monroe 31+14reb+4ast, J.Akognon 12, S.Park 8+5reb+1ast, I.Heo 8+8reb, J.Chun 6+1reb+1ast, J.Kim 5+1reb
