The 2025-2026 LG Electronics professional basketball season brought fans to the edge of their seats on February 15, 2026, as Seoul SK and Busan KCC each delivered dramatic victories in fiercely contested matchups. Both teams seized crucial wins that not only shifted the league standings but also showcased the grit, talent, and resilience of their rosters.
At the Jamsil Students' Gymnasium in Seoul, the home crowd witnessed a nail-biter as Seoul SK edged out Anyang Jeong Kwan Jang 80-77. The win marked SK’s first four-game winning streak of the season, propelling them into a tie for second place with their rivals, both sitting at 26-15. The result also nudged Jeong Kwan Jang down a spot, intensifying the battle at the top of the league just three games behind current leaders Changwon LG (29-12).
The game itself was a showcase of momentum swings and late-game heroics. SK jumped out to a 24-13 lead in the first quarter, powered by three-point shots from Eddie Daniel and Ahn Young-jun. However, Jeong Kwan Jang’s Moon Yoo-hyun turned the tide in the second quarter, scoring eight points in a blistering one-minute stretch to help his team briefly seize the lead. SK managed to maintain a slim 45-42 advantage at halftime, but it was clear the contest would go down to the wire.
After the break, the intensity only ramped up. The third quarter saw SK’s Jamil Warney and Daniel combine for key plays, including a steal and a fast-break finish that gave SK a 65-61 edge. Yet, Jeong Kwan Jang refused to yield, and by the fourth quarter, the lead changed hands multiple times. SK looked poised to pull away when Ahn Young-jun, returning from a calf muscle injury and playing over 30 minutes, scored five quick points to extend the margin to seven. But turnovers by SK allowed Jeong Kwan Jang to storm back, with Moon Yoo-hyun and Johnny O'Bryant orchestrating a fierce rally to take a 74-72 lead.
With the outcome hanging in the balance, veteran Oh Se-geun stepped up in the clutch. First, he knocked down a mid-range jumper to start SK’s fourth-quarter scoring. Then, with SK trailing 77-74, Oh drilled a three-pointer to tie the game with just over two minutes remaining. The drama peaked when Oh, with only 1:11 left on the clock, buried another three-pointer—his fourth of the game—to give SK a decisive 80-77 lead. Jeong Kwan Jang had opportunities to answer, but Moon Yoo-hyun’s last-gasp three-point attempts missed their mark, sealing SK’s victory.
Oh Se-geun finished with 16 points, including four three-pointers and five rebounds, and reached two personal milestones: 7,000 career points and 3,600 career rebounds, becoming only the 17th and 10th player in league history to achieve those marks, respectively. "I just wanted to help my team when it mattered most," Oh reflected after the game, according to KBL sources. "The milestones are special, but the win is what counts for us right now." Jamil Warney added a double-double with 20 points and 11 rebounds, while Ahn Young-jun’s 17 points, three rebounds, three assists, and two steals underscored his successful return to action.
For Jeong Kwan Jang, Johnny O'Bryant was a force with 26 points and eight rebounds, and rookie Moon Yoo-hyun contributed 20 points and seven assists. Despite their efforts, the team couldn’t overcome SK’s late surge. The game featured seven lead changes and four ties, a testament to the evenly matched squads and the high stakes of the contest.
Meanwhile, down south at Busan Sajik Gymnasium, Busan KCC held off a furious rally from Suwon KT to claim an 83-81 victory in a battle between the league’s fifth and sixth-placed teams. The win was KCC’s second in a row and their third consecutive home triumph, cementing their hold on fifth place with a 21-20 record. KT, now 20-22, suffered their second straight loss and found their sixth-place position under threat from Goyang Sono, who trail by just 1.5 games.
KCC came out firing, with Heo Hoon opening the game with a three-pointer and leading his team to a 15-4 run. KT, however, responded late in the first quarter, with Isaiah Hicks scoring eight quick points to tie the game at 15. KCC managed to close the quarter ahead 18-15 and then stretched their lead to 43-32 by halftime, thanks to aggressive rebounding and balanced scoring from William Navarro and Sean Long.
The third quarter saw KCC push their advantage to 14 points early on, but KT’s up-tempo offense and dogged defense gradually eroded the deficit. Kang Sung-wook and Moon Sung-gon sparked KT’s comeback, and by the end of the quarter, Kim Sun-hyung’s driving floater had cut the margin to just one point, 57-56. The atmosphere was electric, with both teams sensing victory was within reach.
In the final quarter, KCC’s Heo Ung knocked down a crucial three-pointer, and Jang Jae-seok’s one-handed dunk energized the home fans. Still, KT refused to fold, with Kang Sung-wook draining a three to keep things close. The game hung in the balance until the closing moments, but KCC’s interior presence—anchored by Jang Jae-seok and Sean Long—proved decisive. Heo Ung, who had earlier left the court with an injury scare, returned to hit another clutch three-pointer, ultimately sealing the win for KCC.
Heo Ung led the way with 21 points, including five three-pointers, six rebounds, and four assists. Jang Jae-seok added 20 points and five rebounds, while Sean Long posted a dominant double-double with 14 points and 21 rebounds. Heo Hoon chipped in 12 points and seven assists, demonstrating the team’s balanced attack. KT’s Kang Sung-wook poured in 25 points and four rebounds, and Kim Sun-hyung had 18 points and nine assists, but their efforts were not enough to overcome KCC’s late-game poise.
The day’s results have set up a thrilling stretch run in the KBL, with playoff positions and rivalries heating up. As the regular season barrels toward its conclusion, every win—and every clutch shot—takes on added significance. Fans will be watching closely to see which teams can maintain their momentum and which stars will rise to the occasion when it matters most.
