Suwon Sonicboom are showing signs of improvement, having recently secured a 78-75 away victory against Ulsan Hyundai Mobis Phoebus, breaking their losing streak with a crucial win. Their key import player, Hicks, delivered an outstanding performance in the last game, scoring a game-high 20 points and grabbing 8 rebounds. Seoul Samsung Thunders are currently in a slump, suffering a 67-81 defeat away to Wonju DB Promy in their previous match, extending their losing streak to four games. Despite a valiant effort from their import, Nicholson, who contributed a team-high 21 points in the loss, the team's overall performance remains weak. Both offense and defense appear to be lacking.
