Goyang Sono, who seeks to change the atmosphere with new coach Kim Tae-sul, lost 67-74 at home against Busan KCC in the '2024-2025 KCC Professional Basketball' held at Sono Arena in Goyang on the 1st, losing six consecutive games.
On the other hand, KCC recovered a 50% win rate (6 wins and 6 losses) thanks to the strong performance of the '1 Option' foreign player Dionte Burton (29 points, 20 rebounds, and 3 assists).
For other reasons, it was a meeting between two teams that urgently needed internal solidarity. Sono surprisingly appointed novice head coach Kim Tae-sul after experiencing the wave of 「The towel assault case → former head coach Kim Seung-ki」 and expected a major reversal of the atmosphere. However, he met KCC on the same day in a quagmire of five consecutive losses, including two consecutive losses since head coach Kim's debut.
KCC suffered internal pain two days ago after suffering a bleak defeat (79:85) in the Anyang Jeonggwanjangjeon. This is because Burton made a triple-double (15 points, 13 rebounds, 10 assists), but he overturned the table, with a 17% success rate of fieldwork with a 'alone' play that poured cold water on him.
KCC coach Jeon Chang-jin said in an interview before the game that `There has been controversy among the players since the match against Chung. However, they tried to understand each other and Burton apologized to the players. I want the team to be stronger. The internal atmosphere was also well understood in the section where he said, "I want the team to be stronger."

KCC unusually started Leon Williams instead of Burton, paying attention to Burton's timing control. It has been successful. Williams, a 13-year veteran of the Korean Basketball League (KBL) league, defended KCC's early lead for 4 minutes and 39 seconds with his skillful under the basket.
KCC, who put Burton in afterwards, was shaken by the surprise performance of rookie Lee Keun-jun, who played for the first time on the day, but succeeded in keeping the lead in the 15-12 and first quarter thanks to Burton's faithful rebound. Burton started in the second quarter when he started in earnest. Burton led the way with 13 points and 11 rebounds in the second quarter alone. Unlike the Jeonggwan Jangjeon, his desire for scoring following excessive breakthrough was greatly reduced, and he also defended under the basket in rebounding. Thanks to that, KCC finished the first half 38-29 and took a breather.
However, KCC's Ando briefly allowed a 49-52 turnaround as Sono's big mercenary DJ Burns took control with a matchup advantage against Williams in the third quarter. In the fourth quarter of the crisis, Ido Burton was performing CPR. At the end of the third quarter, he hit an unreasonable 3-pointer at the end of the third quarter, causing concern about 'Is that again?' but led the team to a 59-55 comeback with seven consecutive points, including one 3-pointer, at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Burton then led the offense and rebound, helping the team not to miss a catch 'Winning'.
Meanwhile, the leading Seoul SK defeated Suwon KT 100-62 at the same time, winning seven consecutive games. It was a bonus to be the first to record 'Victory Against All Clubs' this season.
