Date: December 14, 2014
The most crucial game of the last round was a loss of top-ranked Iwate Big Bulls (20-2) at the home court on Sunday night. Hosts were defeated by third ranked Okinawa GK (17-3) 81-74. It ended at the same time the 19-game winning streak of Iwate Big Bulls. It may be a crucial game in the contest for the top position in the league. The guests trailed by 1 point after first quarter, but they rallied back to get the 7-point lead at the halftime and eventually won the game 81-74. 24 personal fouls committed by Iwate Big Bulls helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities. Americans were the main players on the court. Anthony McHenry (202-83, college: Georgia Tech) scored 22 points and 9 rebounds to lead the charge for the winners and guard Draelon Burns (194-85, college: De Paul) chipped in 19 points during the contest. At the losing side swingman Wayne Arnold (193-84, college: Tennessee St.) responded with a double-double by scoring 25 points and 10 rebounds (made all of his seven free throws) and forward Lawrence Blackledge (206-86, college: Marquette) produced a double-double by scoring 16 points and 10 rebounds. Both coaches used bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Okinawa GK moved-up to second place, which they share with Hamamatsu P. Iwate Big Bulls at the other side still keep top position with two games lost. Okinawa GK is looking forward to face Shiga L-Stars (#5) at home in the next round. Iwate Big Bulls will play against Toyama Grouses (#4) and are hoping to win this game.
