One missed defensive rebound can erase a good defensive possession, and that is where Seoul SK–KCC gets interesting. KCC’s last defeat turned on a late offensive board conceded after free throws. SK’s coach wants rebounds to feed early offense, while acknowledging his team’s timing is still coming back. If KCC secures the miss, it can keep SK from turning that same play into a runout; if SK wins it, the matchup changes ends in a hurry.
KCC coach Lee Sang-min singled out the lost rebound after the one-point defeat at Goyang Sono. SK coach Jeon Hee-cheol said he wants smoother early offense after rebounds and knows his main group has played heavy minutes. That makes the second effort after a shot, and the first pass after it, more revealing to me than either club’s streak.
