Regular Season Round 43: Aomori Watts - Saitama Bron. 90-77

Date: March 8, 2014
Very expected game when 11th ranked Saitama Broncos (3-34) were defeated on the road by sixth ranked Aomori Watts (18-19) 90-77 on Saturday. The hosts trailed by 2 points after first quarter, but they stormed back to get the 8-point lead at the halftime and eventually won the game 90-77. Nigerian forward Abdullahi Kuso (206-84, college: Tallahassee CC) fired a double-double by scoring 16 points and 11 rebounds (on 6-of-7 shooting from the field) for the winners. Guard Yuki Kitamuki (184-85) chipped in 14 points and 6 assists. Five Aomori Watts players scored in double figures. American swingman John Humphrey (188-80, college: Middle Tenn.St.) produced 29 points and 6 rebounds and the other American import swingman Michael Joiner (200-81, college: Florida St.) added 19 points respectively for lost side. Both coaches allowed to play bench players saving starting five for next games. Aomori Watts maintains sixth place with 18-19 record. Saitama Broncos lost their sixth game in a row. They keep the eleventh position with 34 games lost. Aomori Watts will face again Saitama Broncos (#11) at home in the next round which should be theoretically an easy game.
