Match Overview and Key Run
From the opening tip, the Golden Kings established control, leveraging their home-court advantage to build an early lead. The NeoPhoenix struggled to contain Ryukyu's balanced attack, which saw contributions from across the roster. The critical juncture came in the second and third quarters, where the Kings orchestrated a decisive run, extending their lead beyond reach. San-en's efforts to mount a comeback were consistently met with swift answers from the hosts, who maintained a high shooting percentage and dominated the rebounding battle throughout the contest.
