The Seoul Samsung Thunders opened their new KBL season in spectacular fashion, routing the Daegu KOGAS Pegasus 98-76 on the road on October 4, 2025. The Thunders' offense was in peak form, scoring nearly 100 points to secure a commanding 22-point victory. Seoul Samsung came out with tremendous energy, shooting a high percentage from the field and sharing the ball brilliantly to build a large halftime lead. Daegu KOGAS, playing at home, could not match the Thunders' intensity or contain their multi-pronged scoring attack, which saw several players contribute significantly. The lead allowed Seoul Samsung to manage minutes and close out the game comfortably. This explosive start marked the Thunders as an early team to watch in the KBL title race, while Daegu was left with much to improve defensively.
