Regular Season Round 43: Hitachi SR - Toshiba BT 83-92

Date: April 5, 2014
Not a big story in a game in Tokyo where 5th ranked Hitachi Sunrockers (18-31) were defeated by first ranked Toshiba Thunders (41-7) 92-83 on Saturday. The guests trailed by 6 points at the halftime before their 57-42 charge in the second half, which allowed them to win the game. American guard Cedric Bozeman (198-83, college: UCLA) fired 19 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists for the winners. His fellow American import forward Nick Fazekas (211-85, college: Nevada) chipped in 20 points and 9 rebounds. Toshiba Thunders' coach Takuya Kita used entire bench which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. American power forward Jamar Smith (206-80, college: Maryland) produced 28 points and 9 rebounds and the former international guard Kenta Hirose (193-85) added 21 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists respectively for lost side. Both teams had four players each who scored in double figures. Toshiba Thunders maintains first place with 41-7 record. Hitachi Sunrockers lost third consecutive game. They keep the fifth position with 31 games lost. Toshiba Thunders will face Hokkaido L. (#3) in Saporro in the next round, which may be the game of the day. Hitachi Sunrockers will play on the road against Tochigi Brex and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
