Date: January 22, 2012
Important game to mention about took place in Osaka. Eighth ranked Oita Heat Devils (7-18) saved a 1-point victory on the road edging second-best Osaka Evessa (17-7) 63-62 on Sunday evening. It was quite big embarassment for the home team. It looked good early as Osaka Evessa took an 4-point lead at the end of first quarter. But then Oita Heat Devils had a 17-11 second period charge getting the lead and Osaka Evessa was not able to take back game control losing it eventually 62-63. Americans were the main players on the court. Forward Taj Finger (203-86) notched a double-double by scoring 10 points and 11 rebounds to lead the effort and forward T.J. Cummings (205-81, college: UCLA) supported him with 15 points and 6 rebounds. Four Oita Heat Devils players scored in double figures. Even 23 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists by forward Lynn Washington (200-78, college: Indiana) did not help to save the game for Osaka Evessa. Forward Michael Bell (206-82, college: Florida Atlantic) added 9 points and 10 rebounds. Osaka Evessa's coach tried various players' combinations and tested in total eleven players in this game, but that didn't help. Oita Heat Devils maintains eighth position with 7-18 record. Osaka Evessa at the other side dropped to the third place with seven games lost. Oita Heat Devils will play against league's second-placed Kyoto Hannar. at home in the next round and they do not belong to the favorites in that game. Osaka Evessa will play against Fukuoka Rizing and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
