Date: January 21, 2015
An interesting game for Hitachi Sunrockers (21-5) which played road game in Tochigi against second-ranked Tochigi Brex (17-8). First ranked Hitachi Sunrockers managed to get a 9-point victory 99-90. Tochigi Brex was trailing by 5 points at halftime but managed to get 5-point lead after three quarters before a 31-17 charge of Hitachi Sunrockers, which allowed them to win the game.

They looked well-organized offensively handing out 22 assists. 24 personal fouls committed by Tochigi Brex helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities.

American power forward Joshua Heytvelt (210-86, college: Gonzaga) contributed with a double-double by scoring 18 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists for the winners. Five Hitachi Sunrockers players scored in double figures.

Tochigi Brex's coach Thomas Wisman rotated twelve players in this game, but that didn't help. Hitachi Sunrockers have a solid series of three victories in a row. They maintain first place with 21-5 record. Tochigi Brex at the other side keeps the second position with eight games lost. Hitachi Sunrockers are looking forward to face Hokkaido L. (#6) in Saporro in the next round which should be theoretically an easy game. Tochigi Brex will play on the road against Chiba Jets (#5) and is hoping to prove to their supporters that the loss was just an accident.
