Regular Season Round 44: Oita H.Devils - Sendai 89ers 96-87
Date: March 17, 2013
There was a small surprise when ninth ranked Oita Heat Devils (14-28) won against at home 7th ranked Sendai 89ers (16-24) 96-87 on Sunday. The hosts trailed by 7 points after three quarters before their 34-18 charge, which allowed them to win the game. Oita Heat Devils made 29-of-33 free shots (87.9 percent) during the game. American players dominated the game. The winners were led by center Thomas Granado (208-88, college: Concordia Irvine) who had that evening a double-double by scoring 27 points and 14 rebounds (on 11-of-13 shooting from the field) and guard Verdell Jones III (195-89, college: Indiana, agency: Edge Sports) supported him with 21 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists. Even 18 points and 6 rebounds by forward T.J. Cummings (205-81, college: UCLA, agency: Top Notch Sports) did not help to save the game for Sendai 89ers. Guard Maurice Hargrow (193-83, college: Minnesota, agency: Top Notch Sports) added 16 points and 4 assists (was perfect 8-for-8 from the free throw line) for the guests. Four Sendai 89ers players scored in double figures. Sendai 89ers' coach Robert Pierce rotated ten players in this game, but that didn't help. Oita Heat Devils maintains ninth position with 14-28 record. Loser Sendai 89ers keep the seventh place with 24 games lost. Oita Heat Devils will meet higher ranked Iwate Big Bulls (#3) on the road in the next round and they do not belong to the favorites in that game. Sendai 89ers will play against Osaka Evessa (#7) and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
