Regular Season Round 20: Aishin SH - Mitsubishi DD 80-75
Date: March 18, 2012
Very expected game when 7th ranked Mitsubishi Dolphins (12-28) lost to first ranked Aishin Sea Horses (30-10) in Kariya 75-80 on Sunday. However just five-point win is not that big difference and the fans of host team counted on more convincing victory. The hosts trailed by 3 points after three quarters before their 27-19 charge, which allowed them to win the game. Aishin Sea Horses made 18-of-21 free shots (85.7 percent) during the game. The former international power forward J.R. Sakuragi (206-76, college: UCLA) orchestrated the victory with a double-double by scoring 37 points (!!!), 16 rebounds and 5 assists (on 12-of-15 shooting from the field). American forward Anthony Richardson (201-83, college: Florida St., agency: TSS Management) contributed with 13 points for the winners. The former international guard Kei Igarashi (180-80) replied with 24 points and 4 assists and American center Byron Allen (201-81, college: Northwestern St., agency: SDJ Sports) added 11 points and 11 rebounds in the effort for Mitsubishi Dolphins. Aishin Sea Horses have a solid three-game winning streak. Defending champion maintains first position with 30-10 record. Mitsubishi Dolphins lost fifth consecutive game. They keep the seventh place with 28 games lost. Aishin Sea Horses will face league's second-placed Toyota Alvark in Fuchu in the next round and it will be for sure the game of the week. Mitsubishi Dolphins will play on the road against Hitachi Sunrockers (#4) in Osaka.
