Seoul Samsung Thunder have shown improved form recently, riding a three-game winning streak. They leverage a deep roster with 11 players rotating and enjoy a home-court advantage, averaging a nine-point victory margin during their streak. Their interior game is potent, with their twin towers consistently contributing 35+20, showcasing significant dominance in the paint. Busan Sonicboom, despite a higher ranking (4th), have a limited rotation of only seven players. They face a potential fatigue issue playing back-to-back games away from home. Their three-point shooting accuracy has dipped to 31% in their last three games, and they have struggled offensively in the final quarter. Seoul Samsung Thunder aim to exploit Busan Sonicboom's defence with a fast-paced offensive style, ranking among the league's top three in average possessions per game. Busan Sonicboom, on the other hand, will need to control turnovers, averaging a league-high 14.1 turnovers per game, by focusing on a half-court offensive strategy. In their last 10 encounters, Seoul Samsung Thunder have won six times, giving them a psychological edge playing at home. Seoul Samsung Thunder's outside shooting accuracy is at a league-leading 39%, and their bench contributes 42% of the team's points. They also have an advantage in terms of stamina in the final quarter. Busan Sonicboom relies on their high-post duo, who average 35+15 points together, but lack consistency from beyond the arc. They have also averaged only 12 points in the final quarter in recent away games. If Seoul Samsung Thunder maintain their intense defence and control turnovers, they are poised to extend their home winning streak. Busan Sonicboom needs to improve their outside shooting and slow down the pace of the game if they want a chance at an upset. Overall, Seoul Samsung Thunder, bolstered by their roster depth and home support, appears to be the team to watch.
