Destiny Williams made her debut for Shinhan Bank.
Shinhan Bank were in a must win situation as they had only won two games up until this point. After making some trades between Korean players and bringing in a new foreigner, Shinhan were looking to get things back on track. Destiny Williams made her debut for Shinhan and she did not disappoint. She helped lead her new team to victory by scoring 18 points and pulling down six rebounds in her first game in the Korean League. Karima Christmas did all she could to keep her team in the game but only had help from one other player Lee Kyung Eun. Outside of Woori Bank, only one or two games separates second place from last.
Shinhan Bank vs. Winnus KDB 61-58 Williams (25 min) 18 pts 6 rebs Viotamela (14 min) 8 pts 3 rebs KDB Christmas (30 min) 17 pts 11 rebs Hawkins (9min) 6 pts 2 rebs

KB Stars have also decided to make a change in their roster as they have brought in Kara Braxton to replace Bashara Graves. Braxton recently arrived to Korea but has not been cleared to play yet. This game was extremely important for KB Stars as they looked to stay atop of the standings. In a thrilling game that saw the lead change several times KEB Hana used their balanced attack to escape with the win. Natalie Achonwa played an excellent game as she finished with a double double. A team that started the season 0-5 Hana Bank has certainly turned things around as they are now tied for third place in the standings.
