Regular Season Round 23: Fukushima - Hamamatsu P. 67-78
Date: December 20, 2014
Very expected game when 8th ranked Fukushima (7-16) was defeated at home by second ranked Hamamatsu Phoenix (18-3) 78-67 on Saturday. The guests trailed by 2 points after three quarters before their 27-14 charge, which allowed them to win the game. Fukushima was plagued by 27 personal fouls down the stretch. The best player for the winners was American forward Mo Charlo (203-83, college: Nevada) who had a double-double by scoring 13 points, 12 rebounds and 5 assists. Nigerian-Canadian Olu Ashaolu (200-88, college: Oregon) chipped in 14 points and 7 rebounds (on 6-of-7 shooting from the field). Five Hamamatsu Phoenix players scored in double figures. Hamamatsu Phoenix's coach Tomoya Higashino used a ten-player rotation and allowed the starting five to rest. American guard Verdell Jones III (195-89, college: Indiana) produced 22 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists and the other American import forward Terrance Shannon (203-90, college: VCU) added 13 points and 5 rebounds respectively for the hosts. Hamamatsu Phoenix have an impressive series of nine victories in a row. They maintain second place with 18-3 record having 2 victories less than leader Kyoto Hannar., which they share with Okinawa GK. Newly promoted Fukushima dropped to the seventh position with 16 games lost. Hamamatsu Phoenix will have a break next round. Fukushima will play again at home against the league's second-placed Hamamatsu Phoenix (#2) and hope to win that game.
