Regular Season Round 1: Toyama Grouses - Gunma 96-90
Date: October 7, 2012
Very expected game when bottom-ranked Gunma (0-2) lost on the road to leader Toyama Grouses (2-0) 96-90 on Sunday. However just six-point win is not that big difference and the fans of host team counted on more convincing victory. Gunma was trailing by 11 points at halftime but managed to get 1-point lead after three quarters before a 26-19 charge of Toyama Grouses, which allowed them to win the game. They looked well-organized offensively handing out 23 assists. Gunma was plagued by 28 personal fouls down the stretch. It was a very good performance for American forward Ira Brown (193-82, college: Gonzaga, agency: SDJ Sports) who helped to win the game recording a double-double by scoring 16 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists. Masashi Joho (183-82) contributed with 13 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists for the winners. American power forward Lewis Witcher (207-87, college: Virginia Tech) answered with a double-double by scoring 13 points and 11 rebounds and guard Kenya Tomori (177-84) added 13 points and 9 assists in the effort for Gunma. Both teams had five players each who scored in double figures. Gunma's coach Tadashi Hayashi let to play thirteen players, but that didn't help to avoid defeat in this game. Toyama Grouses keep a position of league leader, which they share with Okinawa GK and Iwate Big Bulls. Newly promoted Gunma still closes the standings with two games lost. Toyama Grouses will face Akita Happinets (#4) on the road in the next round. Gunma will play against Shinshu BW (#7) in Nagano.
