The game in Toyama was also quite interesting. Second ranked Osaka Evessa (32-15) played at the court of 5th ranked Toyama Grouses (24-23). Osaka Evessa managed to secure a 4-point victory 85-81 on Saturday. The guests were tied at the half but managed to speed up in last two quarters eventually winning the game.

Four Toyama Grouses players scored in double figures. Osaka Evessa maintains second place with 32-15 record having four points less than leader Hamamatsu P. Loser Toyama Grouses keep the fifth position with 23 games lost. They share it with Sendai 89ers.
