ULSAN Hyundai Mobis Phoebus bucked the absence of Filipino guard RJ Abarrientos to score a 79-62 win over Seoul Samsung Thunders in the 2022-23 KBL season on Tuesday at Jamsil Arena.
With the Pinoy import nursing a sprained ankle he suffered in practice, Justin Knox did much of the heavy lifting for the visitors with his 18 points and 19 rebounds.
