Regular Season Round 19: Fukuoka Rizing - Okinawa GK 86-74
Date: December 9, 2012
The most crucial game of the last round was the first loss of undefeated Okinawa GK (15-1) on the court of fourth ranked Fukuoka Rizing on Sunday night. Visitors were defeated by Fukuoka Rizing 86-74. It ended at the same time the 15-game winning streak of Okinawa GK. The hosts trailed by 1 point after three quarters before their 30-17 charge, which allowed them to win the game. Great defensive blocking was one of the keys in this match when Fukuoka Rizing made 7 blocks. Worth to mention a great performance of Trinidad and Tobago power forward Julius Ashby (205-82, college: Colorado) who helped to win the game recording a double-double by scoring 30 points, 16 rebounds and 4 blocks. American forward Reginald Warren (204-81, college: W.Florida, agency: Top Notch Sports) contributed with 13 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists for the winners. Guard Narito Namizato (172-89) answered with 15 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists and American center Jeff Newton (205-81, college: Indiana) added 12 points and 8 rebounds in the effort for Okinawa GK. Both teams had four players each who scored in double figures. Okinawa GK's coach Tohyama Kouto rotated ten players in this game, but that didn't help. Fukuoka Rizing (11-7) moved-up to third place, which they share with Shimane SM. Okinawa GK at the other side still keeps top position with one game lost. Fukuoka Rizing is looking forward to face Oita Heat Devils (#5) on the road in the next round. Okinawa GK will play against Shimane Magic (#3) and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
