Carl Tamayo wins first KBL battle vs Kevin Quiambao as Changwon LG downs Goyang Sono


In their first-ever professional meeting, Carl Tamayo emerged victorious over his good friend Kevin Quiambao.

Changwon LG secured its second consecutive win, defeating Goyang Sono, 91-79, in the 2024-25 KBL season on Sunday at Changwon Gymnasium.

With the victory, the Sakers claimed sole possession of second place with a 27-16 record, half a game ahead of Ulsan Hyundai Mobis Phoebus.

Tamayo played a key role in the win, contributing 12 points, four assists, and two rebounds.

Assem Marei led all scorers with a dominant 29-point, 23-rebound performance, while Sang Yuki chipped in 19 points.

Quiambao put up an impressive stat line of 15 points, six assists, five rebounds, and three steals, but it wasn’t enough to prevent the Skygunners from extending their losing streak to three games.

Goyang Sono fell to 14-29.

In the other game of the day, Juan Gomez de Liaño and SJ Belangel had limited production as Seoul SK cruised past Daegu KOGAS, 89-69, at Jamsil Student Gymnasium.

Gomez de Liaño saw just five minutes of action, scoring three points, while Belangel recorded four points and six assists in 20 minutes.

The Knights maintained their grip on first place with a 36-8 record, while the Pegasus dropped to 22-21, sitting in fifth place.
