Wonju DB beat Seoul Knights 103 to 85 in the KBL Cup on Friday evening. The visitors made their superiority clear from the opening tip and never looked back. It was a straightforward evening for the away side, who controlled the tempo throughout.
Seoul Knights have been struggling of late. They lost 86 to 99 to Goyang just two days before this match, and have dropped five of their last six outings. The pattern is familiar — narrow defeats in close games, then a heavy loss when the margin opens up.
Wonju DB, meanwhile, turned to their depth and showed it. They beat Seoul Thunder 101 to 83 on Wednesday, and have kept their side in contention for a playoff spot. By then they had already established that they will make life awkward for anyone who underestimates them.
The 18-point margin tells you everything about tonight. Seoul Knights could not find answers when the visitors started pulling away. There is unrest in the dressing room after this one, and rightly so. They need the points badly and left them behind.
Wonju DB keep moving forward. A fourth straight win would have been ambitious, but this result keeps them within striking distance of the top four. The gap between the sides is widening, and Seoul Knights have work to do before the next fixture.
