Samsung seems to have found their rhythm and have now won their third game in a row after defeating KDB Winnus Saturday afternoon. The game was tied at the half and still tied after the third quarter. It was in the fourth that Samsung was able to pull away where they held KDB to only 8 points in the quarter. Pierson who eventually fouled out ended with another strong game in double figures. The foreigners have been fouling out of the games a lot lately as Korean referees seems to not give them much slack with aggressive play. Mosby fouled out of her game this week as well.
