EJ Anosike led the way for the Sonicboom with 20 points and nine rebounds.

In the third game, Ethan Alvano and Wonju DB lost to Goyang Carrot, 80-87, at Goyang Gymnasium.
Alvano had a spectacular game with 18 points on 7-of-9 shooting from the field with 10 assists.
However, the depth of Goyang proved to be too much for Wonju.

Dewan Hernandez supported Alvano with 16 points and nine rebounds.
