However, in the third quarter alone, Kang I-seul and Heo Ye-eun kicked two 3-pointers each to catch up and ended the third quarter with a 64-62 lead.

Seconds ago, they created an 8-point gap and decided the winner.
KB Jisoo Park achieved a triple-double with 24 points, 14 rebounds, and 10 assists.
Park Ji-soo achieved his 8th triple-double in his career, tying with national team coach Jeong Seon-min’s league record of most triple-doubles (8).
Samsung Life Insurance Bae Hye-yoon also recorded her first career triple-double with 14 points,
11 rebounds, and 10 assists on this day, but the team loss was disappointing.
This is the first time there have been two triple-doubles in one game in women’s professional basketball.

two games were held per day, and there were two triple-doubles in one day.

Samsung Life Insurance, which maintained 3rd place with 10 wins and 12 losses,
had coach Ha Sang-yoon take over as acting coach due to coach Lim Geun-bae being diagnosed with a novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).
