Ulsan Hyundai took Game 1 last Sunday with an 86-71 with at home but Goyang was able to knot the best-of-five series with an 86-79 win two days later.

This time around, the Phoebus dominated the Carrot Jumpers to take the series lead.

Gaige Prim also had a monster game with 31 points and 14 rebounds while Seo Myeongjin fired 15 points.
