Regular Season Round 10: Gunma - Niigata Albirex 71-81

Date: November 2, 2014
Bottom-ranked Gunma (0-8) is still winless. But it was rather predictable considering how strong their opponent was. This time they could not use their home court advantage losing their eighth consecutive match to fourth ranked Niigata Albirex (8-2) 81-71 on Sunday evening. The game was mostly controlled by Niigata Albirex. Gunma managed to win third quarter 21-13. But it was not enough to take a lead and get a victory that evening. Niigata Albirex looked well-organized offensively handing out 21 assists. American forward Thomas Kennedy (201-87, college: Detroit Mercy) fired a double-double by scoring 26 points and 12 rebounds for the winners. Yuichi Ikeda (191-83) chipped in 19 points and 5 rebounds. Five Niigata Albirex players scored in double figures. Niigata Albirex's coach Fujitaka Hiraoka allowed to play the deep bench players saving starting five for next games. American forward Carlos Dixon (201-81, college: Virginia Tech) produced 15 points and 6 assists and his fellow American import power forward Daniel Northern (206-85, college: Tenn Tech, agency: R.H.Consultancy) added 12 points and 6 rebounds (perfect from the field making all six shots) respectively for lost side. Niigata Albirex have an impressive five-game winning streak. They moved-up to second place, which they share with Okinawa GK and Akita NH. Loser Gunma still closes the standings with eight games lost. Niigata Albirex will meet at home Osaka Evessa (#5) in the next round. Gunma will play against Aomori Watts (#6) and looks forward to get finally their first victory.
