DB, which entered the second half by narrowing the gap to 40-54, dominated the atmosphere as Lawson, who scored only 12 points in the first half, swept 15 points in the third quarter alone.

In the middle of the fourth quarter, DB tied Kim Jong-kyu’s two free throws, Lawson’s three-point and two-point shots to turn the game around with nine consecutive points. With a 79-77 lead four minutes before the end of the game, Park In-woong (3 points) shot a three-point shot and Kang Sang-jae hit two free throws on the rim to widen the gap to 84-77.
