The 6-foot-4 winger dropped 20 points to go along with his six blocks and three rebounds to help Anyang KGC snap its two-game slide with a 80-78 squeaker over Wonju DB Promy on Friday, Nov. 18.

He shot a 4-of-10 clip from the field and 6-of-7 shooting from the foul line in his best game yet in South Korea after recovering from a groin injury that sidelined him early in the season.

The win came as a huge bounce back win for Anyang which fell to the hands of the RJ Abarrientos-led Ulsan Mobis Phoebus, 92-85, earlier in the week.

Providing support to Abando were Oh Sekeun who added 20 points, six rebounds, and three assists, and world import Omari Spellman who posted 13 points, seven rebounds, and three blocks.

Doo Kyungmin led the Promy with 18 points while Dewan Hernandez got 14 points and 14 rebounds. Filipino import Ethan Alvano added 12.

In the other game, Changwon LG Sakers nipped Jeoju KCC, 63-62. Filipino import Justin Gutang finished with three points in limited playing time while Yoon Won Sang showed the way with his 21 points.
