Carl Tamayo and the champion Changwon LG Sakers are on the board in the 2025-26 KBL season.
Carl Tamayo delivered a commanding performance to lead the Changwon LG Sakers past the Wonju DB Promy, 82-79, on Saturday, October 5, as the defending champions notched their first win of the 2025-26 KBL season.
After falling to Finals rival Seoul SK Knights in their opener, the LG Sakers bounced back behind Tamayo’s all-around brilliance.
The Filipino forward erupted for 25 points, while also recording 10 rebounds, three assists, and two steals in the victory.
Changwon took control in the third quarter, outscoring Wonju 25-12 to build a lead that proved just enough to hold off a late rally.
Former MVP Ethan Alvano paced Wonju with 13 points, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the defending champs’ second-half surge.
The win got Changwon’s title defense back on track as Tamayo showcased his scoring and leadership in only his second game of the season.
