Seoul SK Knights dealt a knocked out blow on fellow Korean squad Anyang Jung Kwan Jang Red Boosters' title aspirations while spoiling Filipino import Rhenz Abando's Philippine homecoming, 94-79, to seal a finals seat in the East Asia Super League home-and-away on Friday at the Hoops Dome in Lapu-Lapu City.Import Jameel Warney, a three-time Korean Basketball League foreign Most Valuable Player had a massive effort of 38 points, 16 rebounds and six assists to lead the Knights.
The win allowed Seoul SK to arrange a one-game championship showdown versus Japanese squad Chiba Jets on Sunday.The Jets secured the other finals spot after dealing a 92-84 blow to the New Taipei Kings, who missed the services of injured former NBA player Jeremy Lin.It was a disappointing loss for the Red Boosters, who welcomed the return of Abando from a spine injury, which he sustained in late December in a KBL game.
