Date: April 6, 2013
The most crucial game of the last round was a loss of top-ranked Okinawa GK (35-10) on the court of second ranked Fukuoka Rizing on Saturday night. Visitors were edged by Fukuoka Rizing 65-64. It ended at the same time the seven-game winning streak of Okinawa GK. It may be a crucial game in the contest for the top position in the league. The hosts were tied at the half but managed to speed up in last two quarters eventually winning the game. Great defensive blocking was one of the keys in this match when Fukuoka Rizing made 8 blocks. Worth to mention a great performance of American forward Reginald Warren (204-81, college: W.Florida) who helped to win the game recording a double-double by scoring 14 points and 19 rebounds. His fellow American import forward Josh Peppers (201-85, college: Cent.Florida, agency: Court Side) contributed with 21 points and 7 rebounds for the winners.
