After blowing out the Carrot Jumpers by 56 points in the opener last Thursday, Anyang looked like it was on the way to another victory, building an early nine-point lead.
But the Carrot Jumpers came back and turned the game around, pulling away in the second half to ambush the top-seeded home team at the Anyang Indoor Gymnasium.
Abando was held scoreless after missing his only shot of the game, and grabbed just one rebound in less than four minutes of action off the bench.
Junghyun Lee and Didric Lawson led the Carrot Jumpers with 32 and 24 points, respectively.
Game Three of the best-of-five series is on Monday at Goyang Gymnasium
