Lee Jung-hyun's three at the buzzer gives Sono a 97-96 win over KCC, SK come back from 20 down to beat LG, and Samsung go 8-0

KCC were ahead 96-94 with six seconds left in Goyang, and Lee Jae-do was at the line for Sono with three free throws. He made the first two to tie it. He missed the third. Johnny O'Bryant III got the rebound, the ball found Lee Jung-hyun, and his three went in as the clock hit zero. The Goyang Sono Skygunners beat Busan KCC 97-96 on Saturday.

It was a weekend of finishes. The Seoul SK Knights trailed Changwon LG by 20 on Saturday and won by a point. Wonju DB led all the way at Anyang and still needed a missed free throw to hold on. The Seoul Samsung Thunders won twice on the road and are 8-0.
