Busan BNK, a women’s professional basketball team, escaped from a swamp of 5 consecutive losses by defeating Incheon Shinhan Bank led by Lee So-hee, who scored 28 points.
BNK defeated Shinhan Bank 87-76 after a fierce battle in the Woori Bank Woori WON 2023-2024 Women’s Professional Basketball regular league home game held at Sajik Gymnasium in Busan on the 17th.
With this, BNK, who broke their five-game losing streak, announced their first victory since the Yongin Samsung Life Insurance game (59-58 win) on the 29th of last month.
BNK, which reached the championship finals last season, is struggling at the beginning of this season.
BNK, with 4 wins and 9 losses on the season, is ranked 5th out of 6 teams.
On the other hand, Shinhan Bank (12 losses), which had only one win this season, suffered five consecutive losses, further reducing its chances of escaping last place.
In BNK, ace Lee So-hee led the team away from a losing streak by scoring 28 points and 8 rebounds, including hitting 3 3-pointers. Lee So-hee also set the record for the most points scored in a single game.
Jinan and Ahn Hye-ji also supported Lee So-hee by scoring 20 points. In particular, Ahn Hye-ji’s shooting was a weak point. She made two 3-pointers and showed her strength from the outside.
Kim Han-byul, who returned from injury, also did his part with 13 points and 13 rebounds.

At Shinhan Bank, it was disappointing that ace Sonia Kim was unable to attack the opponent’s large-sized opponent’s defense, resulting in a field goal success rate of 31.25%.
Sonia Kim, who had a difficult time scoring 17 points, instead contributed to the team by rebounding. Sonia Kim grabbed 22 rebounds, the most among both teams.
Among them, the team worked hard to dominate the air with 10 offensive rebounds, but the shine faded due to the team’s loss.
In addition, Kang Gye-ri (14 points), Gusul (13 points), and Lee Gyeong-eun (11 points) also scored double-digit scores, but it was not enough to overcome BNK, where all key players exploded.
This game was the first game of the ‘men’s and women’s professional basketball doubleheader’ held for the second time ever in Korea.
Starting at 6 p.m. on this day, Busan KCC, the men’s team that shares Sajik Gymnasium, will play a home game against Goyang Sono. On the 25th of last month, when the first men’s and women’s basketball double header schedule was held, both BNK and KCC lost. 스포츠토토맨
