But then Hamamatsu Phoenix had a 20-13 second period charge getting the lead and Toyama Grouses were not able to take back game control losing it eventually 83-93. 24 personal fouls committed by Toyama Grouses helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities. The game was also dominated by American players.
