Regular Season Round 43: Yokohama BC - Toyama Grouses 69-78

Date: March 8, 2014
There was no surprise when 8th ranked Yokohama BC (17-20) was defeated at home by second ranked Toyama Grouses (29-9) 78-69 on Saturday. The game without a history. Toyama Grouses led from the first minutes and controlled entire game increasing their lead in each quarter. They looked well-organized offensively handing out 22 assists. American forward Sam Willard (205-88, college: Pacific) fired a double-double by scoring 19 points and 11 rebounds for the winners. His fellow American import forward Ira Brown (193-82, college: Gonzaga, agency: Norton Sports Management) chipped in a double-double by scoring 16 points, 12 rebounds and 4 assists. American swingman Omar Reed (200-87, college: Bluefield, agency: Norton Sports Management) produced a double-double by scoring 22 points and 15 rebounds and point guard Kenji Yamada (180-83) added 9 points and 5 rebounds respectively for lost side. Yokohama BC's coach Michael Katsuhisa rotated ten players in this game, but that didn't help. The victory was the third consecutive win for Toyama Grouses. They maintain second place with 29-9 record having just two points less than leader Akita NH. Loser Yokohama BC dropped to the seventh position with 20 games lost. Toyama Grouses will have a break next round. Yokohama BC will play again at home against the league's second-placed Toyama Grouses (#2) and hope to win that game.
