Sono and LG face off in KBL basketball playoff semifinal

The 2025-2026 Korean Basketball League (KBL) playoffs are heating up, with the Goyang Sono Skygunners taking a commanding 2-0 lead against the Changwon LG Sakers in the semifinal series.

After two intense road games in Changwon, Sono is now just one win away from their first-ever KBL Finals appearance.

Despite trailing early in both games, Sono staged impressive comebacks, led by stellar fourth-quarter performances from Lee Jae-do and consistent double-doubles from Nathan Knight and Kevin Kembaou.

Conversely, the defending champion LG Sakers are struggling.

Beyond declining shooting efficiency, they have been hampered by the loss of key guard Yang Joon-seok due to a foot injury.

Whether Sono completes the sweep or LG fights back to stay alive, the upcoming game at the Goyang Sono Arena promises high-stakes basketball for fans across the country.
