Regular Season Round 21: Toyota Alvark - Hokkaido L. 61-55

Date: March 23, 2013
Very predictable result in Tokyo where second ranked Toyota Alvark (32-10) defeated bottom-ranked Hokkaido L. (6-36) 61-55 on Saturday. However just six-point win is not that big difference and the fans of host team counted on more convincing victory. The hosts trailed by 1 point after first quarter, but they rallied back to get the 5-point lead at the halftime and eventually won the game 61-55. Great defensive blocking was one of the keys in this match when Toyota Alvark made 8 blocks. American forward Philip Ricci (202-80, college: Oregon St.) stepped up with a double-double by scoring 14 points and 12 rebounds for the winners and the former international guard Yusuke Okada (185-84) chipped in 16 points. The best for the losing side was German power forward Tilo Klette (206-77) with 20 points and 5 rebounds and guard Tomokazu Abe (180-85) scored 7 points, 8 assists and 4 steals. Both coaches allowed to play bench players saving starting five for next games. Defending champion maintains second place with 32-10 record having just two points less than leader Aishin SH. Hokkaido L. lost their fifth game in a row. They stay dead last with 36 lost games.
