Regular Season Round 21: Hitachi SR - Chiba Jets 79-74
Date: March 5, 2016
Rather predictable result when fourth ranked Hitachi Sunrockers (25-12) won against 8th ranked Chiba Jets (14-22) in Tokyo 79-74 on Saturday. However just five-point win is not that big difference and the fans of host team counted on more convincing victory. Chiba Jets trailed by 11 points after 3 quarters before a 29-23 run in the last quarter cut the deficit to 74-79 at the end of the game. Hitachi Sunrockers dominated on the defensive end, holding Chiba Jets to just 7 points in first quarter. They made 24-of-29 free shots (82.8 percent) during the game. They outrebounded Chiba Jets 43-32 including 17 on the offensive glass. It was a good game for international power forward Joji Takeuchi (207-85) who led his team to a victory with 18 points and 9 rebounds. American forward Ira Brown (193-82, college: Gonzaga) contributed with 21 points and 7 rebounds for the winners. Hitachi Sunrockers' coach Michael Olson allowed to play the deep bench players in such tough game. American forward DeQuan Jones (203-90, college: Miami, FL) answered with 18 points and 8 rebounds and the other American import power forward Clint Chapman (208-89, college: Texas) added 18 points in the effort for Chiba Jets. Both teams had four players each who scored in double figures. Hitachi Sunrockers have an impressive series of six victories in a row. They maintain fourth place with 25-12 record. Chiba Jets lost third consecutive game. They keep the eighth position with 22 games lost. Hitachi Sunrockers will have a break next round. Chiba Jets will play at home against Hokkaido L. (#6) and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
