Date: March 22, 2014
Fifth-ranked Niigata Albirex (25-17) used its home court advantage to challenge second ranked Toyama Grouses (32-10) on Saturday. The visitors from Toyama managed to secure only two-point victory 65-63. However their fans expected easier game. It ended at the same time the two-game winning streak of Niigata Albirex. The guests trailed by 6 points after first quarter, but they rallied back to get the 2-point lead at the halftime and eventually won the game 65-63. American forward Sam Willard (205-88, college: Pacific) orchestrated the victory with a double-double by scoring 12 points and 12 rebounds. Guard Mito Takeshi (184-85) contributed with 12 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists for the winners. American guard Nile Murry (193-83, college: TCU) answered with a double-double by scoring 25 points and 12 rebounds and the other American import center Patrick Sullivan (206-88, college: SE Louisiana, agency: Two Points) added 12 points and 9 rebounds in the effort for Niigata Albirex. Toyama Grouses maintains second place with 32-10 record having just three points less than leader Okinawa GK. Niigata Albirex at the other side keeps the fifth position with 17 games lost. Toyama Grouses will have a break next round, and it should allow them to practice more before next game. Niigata Albirex will play again at home against the league's second-placed Toyama Grouses (#2) and is hoping to prove to their supporters that this time they can win.
