Regular Season Round 44: Gunma - Shimane SM 60-82
Date: March 17, 2013
Everything went according to plan when second ranked Shimane Magic (29-13) outplayed on the road 11th ranked Gunma (10-32) 82-60 on Sunday. The guests trailed by 2 points at the halftime before their 53-29 charge in the second half, which allowed them to win the game. Shimane Magic dominated down low during the game scoring 62 of its points in the paint compared to Gunma's 36. They outrebounded Gunma 42-30 including a 37-21 advantage in defensive rebounds. Shimane Magic looked well-organized offensively handing out 26 assists comparing to just 12 passes made by Gunma's players. Great defensive blocking was one of the keys in this match when Shimane Magic made 9 blocks. The winners were led by American forward Michael Parker (202-81, college: Evergreen St.) who had that evening a double-double by scoring 26 points and 10 rebounds and the other American import Benjamin Puckett (205-83, college: Clayton St., agency: I.D.S. Law) supported him with 20 points and 10 rebounds (on 9-of-11 shooting from the field). Even a double-double of 11 points and 12 rebounds by Vincentian center Nyika Williams (203-87, college: Pacific) did not help to save the game for Gunma. American forward Dominique Keller (203-88, college: Illinois) added 16 points and 5 rebounds for the hosts. Gunma's coach Ryan Blackwell gave up on the game allowing to play ten players seeing no chance for a win. Shimane Magic maintains second position with 29-13 record having just -3 point less than leader Okinawa GK. Newly promoted Gunma keeps the eleventh place with 32 games lost. Shimane Magic will meet at home Toyama Grouses (#4) in the next round. Gunma will have a break next round.
