Date: January 22, 2012
Very predictable result in Mikawa where third ranked Hamamatsu Phoenix (15-10) defeated 10th ranked Iwate Big Bulls (7-21) 80-69 on Sunday. The game was mostly controlled by Hamamatsu Phoenix. Iwate Big Bulls was better in third quarter 24-17. But it was not enough to take a lead and get a victory that evening. Hamamatsu Phoenix made 16-of-19 free shots (84.2 percent) during the game. They also forced 19 Iwate Big Bulls turnovers. American guard Jermaine Dixon (191-87, college: Pittsburgh, agency: VVG Sports) scored 17 points, 7 rebounds, 8 assists and 4 steals (went 9 for 9 at the free throw line !!!) to lead the charge for the winners and the former international center Atsuya Ohta (206-84) chipped in 6 points and 15 rebounds during the contest. Four Hamamatsu Phoenix players scored in double figures. Hamamatsu Phoenix's coach Ryuji Kawai used a ten-player rotation and allowed the starting five to rest. The best for the losing side was Guyanese-American forward Gordon Klaiber (206-83, college: Fair Dickinson) with a double-double by scoring 24 points and 14 rebounds and American forward Thomas Kennedy (201-87, college: Detroit Mercy, agency: Global Sports Plaza) scored 15 points and 6 rebounds. Defending champion maintains third position with 15-10 record having six points less than leader Akita NH. Iwate Big Bulls lost fourth consecutive game. They keep the tenth place with 21 games lost. Hamamatsu Phoenix will face league's second-placed Niigata Albirex at home in the next round and it will be for sure the game of the week.
