# PROFESSIONAL BASKETBALL LG BEAT KT AND TIED FOR 2nd PLACE... THE DIRECTION OF THE TICKET TO PO IN THE SEMIFINALS IS 'IN THE FOG'
LG wins 87-76 over second-place opponent KT... Jaedo Lee 22 points, 9 assists
In professional basketball, Changwon LG defeated Suwon KT and pushed the direction of second place, heading straight to the semifinal playoffs (PO), into the fog.
LG defeated KT 87-76 in the 2023-2024 CheongKwanJang Professional Basketball Regular League home game held at Changwon Gymnasium in Gyeongnam on the 11th and recorded 5 consecutive wins.
LG and KT, who each had 30 wins and 17 losses, were tied for second place. **[카지노사이트탑](https://www.casinositetop.com)**
If things continue like this, LG will win the battle for second place.
The 1st and 2nd ranked teams in the regular league will skip the 6th PO and advance to the 4th PO.
Looking at the opponent's record, LG is ahead of KT with 4 wins and 2 losses, and if the records are the same, LG will receive a direct ticket to the semifinals.
KT, which seemed likely to take second place, was in danger of slipping to third place at the end of the regular season due to a poor record of 1 win and 4 losses in the last 5 games.
With LG's victory, leader Wonju DB (37 wins, 10 losses) becomes very likely to win the regular season.
Even if the scores are tied, it is a very advantageous situation for DB.
If the two teams tied for second place win all seven remaining games and DB loses all of them, the three teams' records will be the same at 37 wins and 17 losses, and follow-up variables such as opponent records will be taken into account.
LG has already lost to DB four times, and KT is also inferior with 2 wins and 3 losses.
KT must win the DB away game held at [Wonju Sports Complex](https://www.behance.net/gallery/194337101/Professional-Volleyball-Hyundai-E-C-and-Woori-Card) on the 14th with a margin of more than 20 points, assuming a complete victory, to gain the upper hand in scoring multiple points in a head-to-head match if the opponent's record is tied.
Even this is a number of cases that cannot be established if DB wins even once in another game.
On this day, KT and LG were evenly matched, 33-36, until the first half.
However, starting from the third quarter, the weight of the game tilted sharply in favor of LG.
LG's leader Lee Jae-do scored 10 points and 4 assists in the third quarter alone, and the score gap widened to 18 points just before the end of the quarter.
KT's main gun Paris Bass fought hard in the fourth quarter, scoring 9 points, but there was not enough time left to turn the game around.
For LG, Lee Jae-do performed best, recording 22 points and 9 assists.
Assem Marey and Yang Hong-seok also contributed to the battle behind the goal with 16 points, 10 rebounds, and 17 points and 7 rebounds, respectively.
In KT, Bath played hard with 26 points and 7 rebounds.
Except for Bass and Ha Yoon-gi (13 points), no one scored in double digits.
Signature guard [Heo Hoon](https://disqus.com/channel/discusssports/discussion/channel-discusssports/russell_scored_44_points_and_reached_the_final_shot/) scored only 5 points.
Forward Moon Seong-gon, whom KT ambitiously recruited through free agency before the start of this season, also performed poorly, scoring no goals.
