Regular Season Round 20: Saitama Bron. - Iwate Big Bulls 71-85
Date: December 7, 2014
Leader Iwate Big Bulls delivered the nineteenth victory on Sunday night. This time they beat bottom-ranked Saitama Broncos (0-16) 85-71. The game was mostly controlled by Iwate Big Bulls. Saitama Broncos managed to win third quarter 22-14. But it was not enough to take a lead and get a victory that evening. The game was decided in the last minutes when Iwate Big Bulls won last quarter 30-17. Iwate Big Bulls outrebounded Saitama Broncos 44-29 including 31 on the defensive glass. Worth to mention a quality performance of American forward Scootie Randall (198-90, college: Temple) who helped to win the game recording 24 points and 7 rebounds and the other American import forward Lawrence Blackledge (206-86, college: Marquette) who added 16 points and 11 rebounds during the contest. Blackledge is a former Eurobasket Summer League player, which is considered top international summer league in the market. Iwate Big Bulls' coach Dai Oketani used a ten-player rotation which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. American forward Gary Johnson (198-91, college: Albany) responded with a double-double by scoring 18 points and 10 rebounds and forward Yuki Nobuhira (190-87) scored 17 points and 7 rebounds. Four Saitama Broncos players scored in double figures. Iwate Big Bulls (19-1) have an impressive 18-game winning streak. They maintain first position. Loser Saitama Broncos still closes the standings with 16 games lost. Iwate Big Bulls will meet at home league's second-placed Okinawa GK in the next round and it will be for sure the game of the week. Saitama Broncos will play against Sendai 89ers (#3) and hope to get finally their first victory.
