recording 3 points, 4 assists, and 1 shot block, invigorating the attack.

Jamil Warney
Korea Gas Corporation chased down with consecutive scores from Andrew Nicholson (8 points) and Duvan Maxwell (14 points) and trailed by 4 points, 51-55.
However, the upward trend could not be continued due to consecutive turnovers in the early fourth quarter.

and with 5 minutes and 50 seconds left in the game,
Jamil Warney’s shot under the goal made it 71-53 and did not allow any further pursuit.
