Samsung Life tasted bitter defeat after the All-Star break. Add to that a dishonorable record.
Yongin Samsung Life lost 35-43 against Incheon Shinhan Bank in the fourth round of the Woori WON 2023-2024 Women’s Professional Basketball League at Yongin Gymnasium on Nov. 15. Samsung Life was unable to extend its winning streak as it lost its ninth game of the season (eight wins).
No player scored in double figures for Samsung Life on the night. Bae Hye-yoon (9 points, 10 rebounds, 1 assist) and Lee Hae-ran (9 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists) were the top scorers. No player scored more than 40 points.
With the exception of 14 points in the first quarter, he scored in single digits in quarters two through four. This resulted in a dishonorable record. The previous lowest score for a Samsung Life team was 38 points against Woori Bank on February 27, 2020, but the team only scored 35 points in that game.
Samsung Life also holds the record for the fewest points scored by both teams combined. The previous record was 84 points between BNK Thumb and Woori Bank on Feb. 21, 2021, but this game was another disgrace with 78 points.
An inability to recover from a 16% first-half field goal percentage led to the result. Samsung Life will need to regain the touch it lost after the All-Star break.
