Coach Jo Sang-hyun said the team will regroup and chase the title over the remaining games.<\/p>\n<p> LG fell 74-84 in the matchup on the 31st, dropping the club to 35-16 and trimming their cushion to a two-game lead over second-place Jeonggwanjang (33-18).<\/p>\n<p> Entering the game, LG\u2019s magic number to clinch the regular-season title was 2; a victory would have sealed it outright, but the loss postponed that opportunity.<\/p>\n<p> After the game, Coach Jo said he thought the players rushed their execution and that the team\u2019s usual strengths were blunted by the opponent\u2019s pressure. He praised the team\u2019s effort overall but emphasized the need to focus on the next game. \u201cThey played a solid game today. We\u2019ll review the mistakes, fix them, and get ready for the matchup on the 3rd against Suwon KT,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p> On the uncharacteristic defensive showing, Jo said the team had changed defensive calls and that players reacted slower than usual. He singled out Tamayo as someone who struggled and noted the offense didn\u2019t flow. \u201cOur help rotations felt late,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p> He also pointed to the slow start, saying the team allowed early shots to Park Ji-hoon and that they took too many ill-advised 3-pointers. Those misses contributed to the sluggish opening stretch.<\/p>\n<p> Despite the setback, LG remains in a favorable position to win the regular season. The loss evened the head-to-head series with Jeonggwanjang at 3-3, but because LG\u2019s loss came by fewer than 15 points, they retain the edge in tiebreaker points.<\/p>\n<p> That reduced LG\u2019s magic number to 1; the team needs just one more win in its final three games to clinch the title outright.<\/p>\n<p> Coach Jo said he plans to give the squad a day off tomorrow and will hold video sessions with players who underperformed. He noted every opponent requires a different game plan and said the staff must figure out how to contain Williams when they face KT.<\/p>\n<p> Jo added that a single loss doesn\u2019t define the season and reminded his players to stay composed. \u201cRecovery is the priority. SK still has the pieces to challenge for first, so we\u2019ll monitor the race and approach the remaining games with focus,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p> [Sports Today reporter Shin Seo-young <span><font color=\"blue\">sports@stoo.com<\/font><\/span>]<br \/>\u201cYour closest source for the most fun news \u24d2 Sports Today\u201d   <\/p>\n<div class=\"byeline\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- view_related --><!-- view_related\/\/ --><!-- \ubc14\uc774\ub77c\uc778 \ud558\ub2e8 2\uc904 \ud558\uc774\ub77c\uc774\ud2b8 --><!-- \ubc14\uc774\ub77c\uc778 \ud558\ub2e8 \ud558\uc774\ub77c\uc774\ud2b8 --><!-- next_article\/\/ --><\/p>\n<table width=\"100%\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"50%\"><\/td>\n<td align=\"right\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LG loses to Anyang KGC, missing a chance to secure the regular season title, but remains in a strong position for upcoming games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/contents-cdn.viewus.co.kr\/image\/2026\/03\/CP-2023-0081\/image-a0d2bcee-40e3-4876-8823-f67b637fad6b.jpeg","footnotes":""},"categories":[278095],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-254537","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Can LG Secure the Championship?
