The Suwon KT Sonicboom used a hot start to survive the Wonju DB Promy’s late assault, 71-69, for their second straight win in the Korean Basketball League (KBL) Wednesday, Jan. 29.
After losing five straight games early this month, the Sonicboom looked like they already figured themselves out as they raced to a commanding 48-29.
Wonju made a last-ditch rally, and good thing for Suwon, Wondu ran out of time.
Coming off a scoreless show in their win over Ulsan, JD Cagulangan had a decent six points, one rebound and three assists while Koreans Heo Hoon and Ha Yun-Gi dazzled with 21 and 16 points, respectively.
This marked Cagulangan’s firstr back-to-back wins in KBL.
On the other hand, Filipino-American Ethan Alvano struggled offensively after finishing with just three points along with five rebounds and seven assists. Kang Sang-Jae led Wonju with 15 points while Lee Kwan-Jee and Park In-Woong added 14 and 12.
The Sonicboom remained at fifth with a 18-15 record while the Promy slipped to 16-18 slate.
