Regular Season Round 12: Niigata Albirex - Toyama Grouses 79-57

Date: October 30, 2016
Everything went according to plan when third ranked Niigata Albirex (7-5) outscored at home 6th ranked Toyama Grouses (1-11) 79-57 on Sunday. The game was mostly controlled by Niigata Albirex. Toyama Grouses was better in third quarter 23-17. But it was not enough to take a lead and get a victory that evening. They dominated on the defensive end, holding Toyama Grouses to just 7 points in fourth quarter. Niigata Albirex made 23-of-28 free shots (82.1 percent) during the game. Worth to mention a great performance of American Davante Gardner (203-91, college: Marquette) who helped to win the game recording 17 points and 9 rebounds (went 9 for 9 at the free throw line !!!) and the other American import power forward Clint Chapman (208-89, college: Texas) who added 11 points, 15 rebounds and 5 blocks during the contest. The best for the losing side was forward Naoki Uto (188-91) with 9 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists and American forward Sam Willard (205-88, college: Pacific, agency: Pensack Sports) scored 8 points and 5 rebounds. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. Niigata Albirex have an impressive five-game winning streak. They maintain third position with 7-5 record having just two points less than leader Tochigi Brex, which they share with Ryukyu GK. Toyama Grouses lost tenth consecutive game. They keep the sixth place with 11 games lost. Niigata Albirex will face league's second-placed Sanen Neophoenix in Hamamatsu in the next round and it will be for sure the game of the week. Toyama Grouses will play at home against Hitachi Sunrockers (#4) and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
