Regular Season Round 52: Akita NH - Iwate Big Bulls 67-58
Date: April 18, 2015
BJ League round 52 caused change at the leadership position. Tenth defeat of league's leader Iwate Big Bulls (39-10) against second ranked Akita Happinets (39-10) 67-58 was the most important game of the last round. It ended at the same time the six-game winning streak of Iwate Big Bulls. It was a key game for the top position in the league. The hosts started the game with a very strong first quarter 21-12. But Iwate Big Bulls won second period 17-14. However it was not enough to take a lead and get a victory that evening. Worth to mention a great performance of guard Shigehiro Taguchi (184-90) who helped to win the game recording 20 points and 6 rebounds. American swingman Richard Roby (198-85) contributed with a double-double by scoring 15 points, 11 rebounds and 4 blocks for the winners. American forward Scootie Randall (198-90, college: Temple, agency: APAA Sports Group) replied with a double-double by scoring 19 points and 14 rebounds and his fellow American import swingman Wayne Arnold (193-84, college: Tennessee St.) added 14 points in the effort for Iwate Big Bulls. Iwate Big Bulls' coach Dai Oketani rotated ten players in this game, but that didn't help. Akita Happinets have an impressive five-game winning streak. They keep a position of league leader, which they share with Hamamatsu P. and Iwate Big Bulls. Iwate Big Bulls will have a break next week, which should allow them to rest and make it back to the top of the standings. Akita Happinets will try to continue on its current victory against second ranked Iwate Big Bulls at home.
