Regular Season Round 41: Saitama Bron. - Toyama Grouses 81-91
Date: March 1, 2014
Not a big story in a game when 11th ranked Saitama Broncos (3-32) lost at home to second ranked Toyama Grouses (27-9) 91-81 on Saturday. The game was mostly controlled by Toyama Grouses. Saitama Broncos was better in fourth quarter 27-22. But it was not enough to take a lead and get a victory that evening. Americans were the main players on the court also this time. Forward Ira Brown (193-82, college: Gonzaga, agency: Norton Sports Management) orchestrated the victory with a double-double by scoring 23 points and 11 rebounds (on 10-of-13 shooting from the field). Forward Sam Willard (205-88, college: Pacific) contributed with a double-double by scoring 11 points and 13 rebounds for the winners. Five Toyama Grouses players scored in double figures. Swingman John Humphrey (188-80, college: Middle Tenn.St.) answered with 32 points and 9 rebounds and swingman Michael Joiner (200-81, college: Florida St.) added 19 points and 8 rebounds in the effort for Saitama Broncos. Saitama Broncos' coach rotated ten players in this game, but that didn't help. Toyama Grouses maintains second place with 27-9 record having just two points less than leader Akita NH. Saitama Broncos lost their fourth game in a row. They keep the eleventh position with 32 games lost. Toyama Grouses will have a break next round. Saitama Broncos will play again at home against the league's second-placed Toyama Grouses (#2) and hope to win that game.
