KT seemed to be on the verge of an easy victory, with a 14-point lead at one point.
However, the potential of the leading DB was great. In the middle of the fourth quarter, the atmosphere changed with Jeff Withey and Doo Kyung-min taking the lead.
With 2 minutes and 39 seconds left at the end of the fourth quarter, KT led 82-75 and gave up three free throws to Doo Kyung-min, falling behind at 82-78.
It was a crisis. Seongwoo Jeong solved it. He took advantage of the gap in DB’s organic defense and overcame the critical point by scoring a 3-pointer from a 45-degree angle to the left. Then, DB’s fast-break mistake led to Bath scoring 2 points, effectively putting an end to the game.
