At 48-47, Kim Dan-bi's three-point run and Han Um-ji's layup made consecutive scores, running 53-57 with about 6 1/2 minutes left.

BNK, which had been dragged by a gap of around 10 points, pressed 59-61 at the end of the third quarter, but Momona's 3-point shot hit just before the end of the quarter, leading Woori Bank 64-59.

If BNK follows, in the fourth quarter, when Woori Bank continued to run away, Shim Sung-young hit a 3-pointer with a 76-69 lead before 2:40 left, and Kim Dan-bi's middle shot made it 80-71 with 1:27 left, solidifying Woori Bank's victory.
