Regular Season Round 23: Sendai 89ers - Gunma 89-82
Date: December 20, 2014
Very predictable result when third ranked Sendai 89ers (17-6) beat at home 9th ranked Gunma (5-16) 89-82 on Saturday. The hosts trailed by 2 points after first quarter, but they rallied back to get the 3-point lead at the halftime and eventually won the game 89-82. Sendai 89ers made 19-of-22 free shots (86.4 percent) during the game. The game was also dominated by American players. The best player for the winners was guard Kejuan Johnson (193-85, college: Long Beach St., agency: KMG Sports Management) who had a double-double by scoring 40 points (!!!), 10 rebounds and 5 assists (was perfect 13-for-13 from the free throw line !!!). Guard Wendell White (198-84, college: UNLV) chipped in 22 points and 5 rebounds. Forward Carlos Dixon (201-81, college: Virginia Tech) produced 22 points and 6 rebounds and forward Melvin Ely (208-78, college: Fresno St.) added 14 points respectively for the guests. Both coaches used bench players and allowed the starting five to rest. Sendai 89ers have an impressive series of seven victories in a row. They maintain third place with 17-6 record having just three points less than leader Kyoto Hannar. Loser Gunma keeps the ninth position with 16 games lost. Sendai 89ers will face again Gunma (#9) at home in the next round which should be theoretically an easy game.
