The other American import forward Johnny Dukes (203-84, college: San Bernardino CC) contributed with 3 points, 15 rebounds, 7 assists and 4 steals for the winners. Four Sendai 89ers players scored in double figures. Sendai 89ers' coach Robert Pierce used a ten-player rotation which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games.
