Date: October 20, 2013
Very expected game when 8th ranked Sendai 89ers (2-4) were defeated on the road by top-ranked Toyama Grouses (4-0) 82-65 on Sunday. The hosts trailed by 3 points after first quarter, but they stormed back to get the 12-point lead at the halftime and eventually won the game 82-65. Toyama Grouses outrebounded Sendai 89ers 44-33 including 35 on the defensive glass. The best player for the winners was American forward Ira Brown (193-82, college: Gonzaga) who had a double-double by scoring 19 points and 14 rebounds. Joho Masashi (183-82) chipped in 21 points and 4 assists. Toyama Grouses' coach Bob Nash used an eleven-player rotation and allowed the starting five to rest. At the other side the best for losing team was American Travele Travel (203-88, college: Texas Southern) who recorded a double-double by scoring 17 points and 10 rebounds and his fellow American import center James Hughes (211-83, college: N.Illinois, agency: I.D.S.

Toyama Grouses have a solid four-game winning streak. They keep a position of league leader, which they share with Osaka Evessa and Kyoto Hannar. Loser Sendai 89ers dropped to the seventh place with four games lost. Toyama Grouses will face Iwate Big Bulls (#3) on the road in the next round, which may be the game of the day. Sendai 89ers will play against Yokohama BC (#6) and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
