Regular Season Round 17: Mitsubishi DD - Hokkaido L. 83-73

Date: February 25, 2012
We could consider it a predictable result in the game between close teams in Nagoya where seventh ranked Mitsubishi Dolphins (12-22) defeated 6th ranked Hokkaido L. (15-19) 83-73 on Saturday. The hosts trailed by 5 points at the halftime before their 50-35 charge in the second half, which allowed them to win the game. Mitsubishi Dolphins made 27-of-35 free shots (77.1 percent) during the game. Mitsubishi Dolphins outrebounded Hokkaido L. 44-32 including a 29-18 advantage in defensive rebounds. Hokkaido L. was plagued by 30 personal fouls down the stretch. American forward Ron Hale (203-77, college: Florida St.) stepped up with a double-double by scoring 29 points and 13 rebounds for the winners and power forward Jun Uzawa (197-81) chipped in 21 points and 7 rebounds. Mitsubishi Dolphins' coach used an eleven-player rotation which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. The former international guard Takehiko Orimo (190-70) responded with 22 points and German power forward Tilo Klette (206-77) scored 10 points and 7 rebounds. Mitsubishi Dolphins maintains seventh place with 12-22 record. Loser Hokkaido L. dropped to the fifth position with 19 games lost. Mitsubishi Dolphins will face bottom-ranked Toshiba Thunders (#8) in Kanagawa in the next round. Hokkaido L. will play at home against the league's second-placed Toyota Alvark and will have a slim chance for a victory.
