At the start of the fourth quarter, Heo Woong succeeded in turning the tables with a three-point shot, continuing his hopes for the semifinals, but the flow was tilted by allowing six consecutive runs with about four minutes left. The gap between the two teams widened, and with 59 seconds left in the end, Samuel DeGuara of Macau scored a dunk to end the match.
In KCC, Caddy Lahren recorded a double-double of 27 points and 13 rebounds, and Heo Woong also worked hard with 20 points and 12 assists, but failed to prevent the loss.

KCC finished the tournament at the bottom of the list with one win and four losses. KCC, which ended the tournament without achieving its goal of advancing to the semifinals in front of home spectators, is expected to focus on the remaining domestic leagues. 안전놀이터
