Date: February 17, 2013
An exciting game between Top Four teams was played in Iwate. First ranked Niigata Albirex faced one of their biggest challengers Iwate Big Bulls. Guests from Niigata (25-9) defeated host Iwate Big Bulls (23-11) 86-72. It ended at the same time the two-game winning streak of Iwate Big Bulls.

They made 18-of-23 charity shots (78.3 percent) during the game. The winners were led by American forward Rodney Webb (200-83, college: Florida Atlantic) who scored that evening 18 points and 9 rebounds (on 8-of-10 shooting from the field) and the other American import center Chris Holm (212-84, college: Vermont, agency: Top Notch Sports) supported him with 14 points and 13 rebounds. Four Niigata Albirex players scored in double figures. Even a double-double of 25 points and 15 rebounds by American center Dillion Sneed (203-84, college: E.Tenn.St., agency: Top Notch Sports) did not help to save the game for Iwate Big Bulls. Nigerian-American power forward Reggie Okosa (208-80, college: La Salle, agency: Top Notch Sports) added 11 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists. Niigata Albirex maintains first position with 25-9 record. Iwate Big Bulls at the other side dropped to the second place with 11 games lost. Niigata Albirex's next round opponent will be Toyama Grouses (#4) at home. Iwate Big Bulls will play against the league's second-placed Yokohama BC and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
