Regular Season Round 34: Toyama Grouses - Oita H.Devils 83-74
Date: February 5, 2012
Very expected game when 8th ranked Oita Heat Devils (8-21) were defeated on the road by fourth ranked Toyama Grouses (15-13) 83-74 on Sunday. The hosts started the game with a very strong first quarter 26-17. But Oita Heat Devils won second period 18-14. However it was not enough to take a lead and get a victory that evening. Great defensive blocking was one of the keys in this match when Toyama Grouses made 10 blocks. Masashi Joho (183-82) fired 23 points and 8 rebounds for the winners. American swingman Brian Harper (206-85, college: Paine, agency: Pro One Sports) chipped in 17 points and 9 rebounds. American guard Matt Lottich (193-82, college: Stanford) produced 26 points and 7 rebounds and his fellow American import guard Wendell White (198-84, college: UNLV) added 16 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists respectively for lost side. Both teams had four players each who scored in double figures. Toyama Grouses have a solid three-game winning streak. They maintain fourth position with 15-13 record. Oita Heat Devils lost third consecutive game. They keep the eighth place with 21 games lost. Toyama Grouses will face Fukuoka Rizing (#4) at home in the next round. Oita Heat Devils will play against Chiba Jets (#7) and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
