Busan punched its ticket with an emphatic 84-67 Game 4 victory at home, closing out their best-of-five semifinal series in the Korean Basketball League on Thursday.
William Navarro, however, did not see action in the series-clinching win.
The KCC Egis wasted no time asserting control, dictating the tempo early in the opening canto.
The Red Boosters tried to keep things within reach, but Busan unleashed a 25-15 surge to close the half for a comfortable 45-35 advantage. From there, the home team never looked back, steadily pulling away to seal the final spot in the championship round.
From the other end, Rhenz Abando struggled to find his rhythm, finishing with just three points, four rebounds, one steal, and one block for Anyang.
Navarro and the KCC Egis now gear up for a best-of-seven finals clash against Kevin Quiambao and Goyang, set to begin on May 5 at the Goyang Gymnasium.
