Date: February 15, 2015
An exciting game between Top Four teams was played in Tokyo. First ranked Hitachi Sunrockers faced second-ranked Mitsubishi Dolphins. Host Hitachi Sunrockers (27-6) smashed guests from Nagoya (20-10) 91-68. Hitachi Sunrockers dominated down low during the game scoring 56 of its points in the paint compared to Mitsubishi Dolphins' 34. They outrebounded Mitsubishi Dolphins 53-27 including a 22-6 advantage in offensive rebounds. Hitachi Sunrockers players were unselfish on offense dishing 21 assists. American power forward Joshua Heytvelt (210-86, college: Gonzaga) orchestrated the victory with a double-double by scoring 30 points, 16 rebounds and 7 assists. The other American import forward Ira Brown (193-82, college: Gonzaga) contributed with 20 points and 8 rebounds for the winners. American forward Brendan Lane (206-90, college: Pepperdine) replied with a double-double by scoring 17 points and 13 rebounds and Senegalese-French forward Amath M'Baye (206-89, college: Oklahoma) added 18 points and 6 rebounds in the effort for Mitsubishi Dolphins. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. Hitachi Sunrockers have a solid four-game winning streak. They maintain first position with 27-6 record. Mitsubishi Dolphins lost fourth consecutive game. They keep the second place with ten games lost. Hitachi Sunrockers will play against league's leader Aishin Sea Horses in Kariya in the next round and it will be for sure the game of the week. Mitsubishi Dolphins will play at home against Chiba Jets and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
