Date: March 25, 2015
No shocking result in a game in Tokyo where first ranked Hitachi Sunrockers (37-7) defeated 6th ranked Hokkaido L. (14-30) 79-62 on Wednesday. The hosts trailed by 4 points at the halftime before their 49-28 charge in the second half, which allowed them to win the game. Hitachi Sunrockers outrebounded Hokkaido L. 42-21 including a 32-18 advantage in defensive rebounds. Great defensive blocking was one of the keys in this match when Hitachi Sunrockers made 8 blocks. The best player for the winners was American power forward Joshua Heytvelt (210-86, college: Gonzaga) who had a double-double by scoring 21 points, 12 rebounds and 4 assists. His fellow American import forward Ira Brown (193-82, college: Gonzaga, agency: APAA Sports Group) chipped in 16 points and 7 rebounds. Four Hitachi Sunrockers players scored in double figures. Hitachi Sunrockers' coach Michael Olson used an eleven-player rotation which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. American forward Jerome Tillman (201-87, college: Ohio, agency: Inception Sports) produced 22 points and 5 rebounds and the former international center Fumihiko Aono (210-78) added 10 points respectively for the guests. Hitachi Sunrockers have an impressive series of ten victories in a row. They maintain first place with 37-7 record. Hokkaido L. lost fifth consecutive game. They keep the sixth position with 30 games lost. Hitachi Sunrockers will have a break next round. Hokkaido L. will play at home against Dragonflies (#3) and hope to win that game.
