Regular Season Round 4: Toshiba BT - Mitsubishi DD 79-82
Date: October 29, 2011
Eighth-ranked Toshiba Thunders (0-8) made lots of trouble for fourth ranked Mitsubishi Dolphins (5-3) in Kanagawa. The visitors from Nagoya managed to secure only three-point victory 82-79. However their fans expected much easier game. Toshiba Thunders were ahead by 3 points after three quarters before a 27-21 charge of Mitsubishi Dolphins, which allowed them to win the game. Strangely Toshiba Thunders outrebounded Mitsubishi Dolphins 37-23 including 26 on the defensive glass. They shot the lights out from three nailing 12 long-distance shots on high 52.2 percentage. The winners were led by American forward Ron Hale (203-77, college: Florida St.) who scored that evening 21 points and 6 rebounds and guard Kazuyuki Nakagawa (180-82) supported him with 16 points. Four Mitsubishi Dolphins players scored in double figures. Even a double-double of 22 points and 10 rebounds by American center Scott Merritt (208-82, college: Marquette) did not help to save the game for Toshiba Thunders. His fellow American import forward Chris Moss (204-80, college: W.Virginia) added 12 points and 5 rebounds for lost side. Both coaches tested many bench players in such tough game. Mitsubishi Dolphins have a solid three-game winning streak. They maintain fourth position with 5-3 record. Toshiba Thunders at the other side still closes the standings with eight games lost. Mitsubishi Dolphins' next round opponent will be league's second-placed Toyota Alvark in Fuchu and it may be the game of the week. Toshiba Thunders will play on the road against Panasonic Trians (#7) in Osaka and hope to get finally their first victory.
