Goyang Sono, which had already secured a playoff spot, finished the regular season at 28-26.<\/p>\n<p> Derrick Williams and Han Hee-won led KT with 17 points apiece. Lee Du-won contributed 10 points and nine rebounds, while Kim Sun-hyung added 12. <\/p>\n<p> For Goyang Sono, Kevin Kembaw and Nathan Knight each scored 18 points, but the pair couldn\u2019t lift their team to a win. <\/p>\n<p> The first quarter was tight. Sono opened with scoring from Kembaw both inside and out and a dunk by Knight, but KT countered with Jung Chang-young\u2019s outside shooting. <\/p>\n<p> Sono looked poised to pull away on three-pointers from Jung Chang-young and Williams, but Motskabivicius\u2019s scoring and an outside shot from Lee Geun-jun left Sono up just 21-20 after the first quarter. <\/p>\n<p> KT bumped up the intensity in the second. Sono relied on perimeter work from Im Dong-seop and Kembaw, while KT answered as Han Hee-won hit back-to-back 3s. <\/p>\n<p> In a tense stretch, Williams\u2019s scoring and Kim Sun-hyung\u2019s baskets inside and out swung momentum to KT, and the home side took a 40-37 lead into halftime. <\/p>\n<p> The third quarter remained competitive. Sono surged early on Knight\u2019s scoring \u2014 including a dunk \u2014 and a Kembaw 3, but KT reclaimed control with an outside shot from Williams and consecutive buckets by Lee Du-won. <\/p>\n<p> Han Hee-won continued to produce from all levels as KT carried a 56-51 advantage into the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n<p> KT held on down the stretch. Sono rallied with scores from Knight, Lee Jae-do, Kang Ji-hoon and Kembaw, pulling within striking distance, but Han\u2019s 3-pointer preserved KT\u2019s cushion. <\/p>\n<p> Williams then hit a key jumper to blunt Sono\u2019s late push, and KT sealed the victory by stopping Sono\u2019s final possession. <\/p>\n<p> [Sports Today reporter Kang Tae-gu <span><font
