Date: October 20, 2012
Rather expected game in Osaka where 7th ranked Hitachi Sunrockers (2-4) were defeated by fifth ranked Mitsubishi Dolphins (1-5) 65-56 on Saturday. Hitachi Sunrockers trailed by 18 points after 3 quarters before a 26-17 run in the last quarter cut the deficit to 56-65 at the end of the game. Mitsubishi Dolphins dominated on the defensive end, holding Hitachi Sunrockers to just 4 points in second quarter and to 14 points in first half. Mitsubishi Dolphins had a 29-16 advantage in offensive rebounds. Great defensive blocking was one of the keys in this match when Mitsubishi Dolphins made 7 blocks. The best player for the winners was power forward Jun Uzawa (197-81) who had a double-double by scoring 15 points and 10 rebounds. Bahamas power forward Magnum Rolle (211-86, college: Louisiana Tech) chipped in 16 points and 9 rebounds. At the other side the best for losing team was international power forward Joji Takeuchi (207-85, agency: N.E.T.) who recorded a double-double by scoring 19 points and 12 rebounds and international guard Fumio Nishimura (177-86) added 15 points respectively. Both coaches allowed to play bench players saving starting five for next games. Despite that victory Mitsubishi Dolphins went down to sixth position due to points difference, which they share with Hokkaido L. and Tochigi Brex. Loser Hitachi Sunrockers dropped to the fifth place with four games lost. Mitsubishi Dolphins will face Hokkaido L. (#6) in Saporro in the next round. Hitachi Sunrockers will play on the road against Tochigi Brex.
