The KCC Eagles and Anyang Jeong Kwan Jang are locked in a fierce best-of-five playoff series, and the latest installment saw Jeong Kwan Jang even the score with a decisive 91-83 victory in Game 2.

This win, achieved on their home court, was a crucial redemption after a Game 1 loss. The team's performance showcased a significant improvement in energy and execution, particularly in their shooting and tenacious defense. Players like Park Ji-hoon, Johnny O'Bryant, Byun Joon-hyung, and Han Seung-hee all contributed significantly to the win, demonstrating the team's depth and collective effort.

The series now shifts to Busan for Games 3 and 4, where the momentum gained by Jeong Kwan Jang will be put to the test. KCC, led by the efforts of Heo Hoon and Heo Ung, will be looking to regain control, but the renewed confidence and defensive prowess of Jeong Kwan Jang suggest a thrilling continuation of this playoff battle.

We didn't have good energy in the first game. We tried to put a lot of effort into defense to bother Heo Hoon and Heo Ung.
