City Uniform Contest Awards Ceremony Held Together
Wonju DB Promy continued its upward trend with three consecutive wins at the end of the year.
Wonju DB won 81 to 67 in the home game against Seoul Samsung in the 2025-2026 LG Electronics professional basketball regular league held at Wonju DB Promi Arena (Wonju Sports Complex) on the 28th. DB is successfully conducting its year-end series by defeating Anyang CheongKwanJang on the 25th, Goyang Sono on the 27th, and Seoul Samsung.
On this day, DB took the lead with explosive scoring power from the beginning of the game. DB opened with Kim Bo-bae’s first goal, and after a block, Lee Seon Albano, Kang Sang-jae, and Kim Bo-bae widened the gap with consecutive goals. Henry Ellenson also added in, and the first quarter ended with a score of 21 to 10.
However, in the second quarter, Seoul Samsung’s counterattack began. Essam Mustapha was brought in to try to continue the trend as an outside gun, but Andrew Nicholson and Kwanhee Lee of Seoul Samsung started the chase by successively hitting 3-pointers. DB narrowed the score gap due to errors and turnovers, and held on with the outside shots of Jeong Hyo-geun and Jeong Ho-young, but the scoring ended after 6 minutes and 30 seconds, ending the first half with a score of 38 to 32.
In the second half, DB allowed a comeback at one point. Seoul Samsung scored consecutive points by attempting a perimeter attack centered on the high post, and the score gap narrowed at once. DB also fought back with goals from Albano and Mustafa, but consecutive goals from Nicholson and Kyu-tae Lee brought the game to a tie.
However, DB was ahead in concentration at the end of the game. Albano, In-Woong Park, and Hyo-Geun Jeong scored consecutive goals to take the lead again, and eventually widened the score gap, putting a wedge in the win. Seoul Samsung failed to make additional counterattacks due to increased turnover due to low stamina.
Meanwhile, on this day, the city uniform contest award ceremony jointly held by DB and Wonju City was also held. This year’s best work was the work of designer Yoo Hwan-jo, and a pattern using the rose, a symbol of Wonju City, and the ginkgo leaves of the Bangyeri ginkgo tree was applied to the uniform design. The players are scheduled to wear the uniform in the away game on the 15th of next month following the Samsung game in Seoul.
DB will play a basketball game against Busan KCC at Sajik Gymnasium in Busan at 9:30 pm on the 31st. Basketball Young Shin is a regular event of KBL on the last night of every year, and a New Year’s Eve countdown event is held along with the game at the time of the New Year’s bell ringing.
