Regular Season Round 38: Osaka Evessa - Shiga L-Stars 66-62
Date: February 22, 2015
We cannot really consider it an upset in the game between close teams when one of their biggest challengers Shiga L-Stars (22-12) were defeated on the road by fifth ranked Osaka Evessa (22-14) 66-62 on Sunday. Shiga L-Stars were trailing by 9 points at halftime but managed to get 3-point lead after three quarters before a 20-13 charge of Osaka Evessa, which allowed them to win the game. They made 16-of-21 free shots (76.2 percent) during the game. Osaka Evessa forced 20 Shiga L-Stars turnovers. American players dominated also this game. The best player for the winners was forward Joshua Dollard (203-86, college: USC Aiken) who scored 30 points and 6 rebounds. Swingman Seth Tarver (196-88, college: Oregon St., agency: Interperformances) chipped in 8 points and 5 rebounds. Guard Terrance Woodbury (201-87, college: Georgia, agency: Haylett Sports) produced 18 points and center Chris Holm (212-84, college: Vermont) added 6 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists respectively for the guests. Shiga L-Stars' coach tested ten players, but that didn't help to avoid defeat in this game. Osaka Evessa moved-up to fourth place, which they share with Niigata Albirex and Sendai 89ers. Loser Shiga L-Stars keep the fourth position with 12 games lost. Osaka Evessa will face league's second-placed Hamamatsu Phoenix in Mikawa in the next round and it may be the game of the week. Shiga L-Stars will play at home against Kyoto Hannar. and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
