In the early stages of the game, SK struggled against LG's barrage of outside shots.

The turning point was, of course, SK's greatest weapon, the fast break.

In particular, forward Ahn Young-jun displayed excellent chemistry with foreign player Warney.

On defense, Ahn Young-jun also made highlight plays.

He jumped high to block a layup from LG's Marei, a shot that even other foreign players find difficult to stop.

In the fourth quarter, Ahn Young-jun hit a crucial outside shot to fend off the opponent's chase, finishing with a remarkable 18 points, the highest among domestic players.

With Ahn Young-jun at the center, SK showcased the power of their triangle offense with Warney and Kim Sun-hyung, successfully halting LG's challenge for an 8-game winning streak.

In women's professional basketball, Woori Bank, led by Kim Dan-bi, maintained its sole lead with a 5-game winning streak.
