Regular Season Round 14: Toyama Grouses - Hitachi SR 64-82

Date: November 6, 2016
Not a big story in a game when 6th ranked Toyama Grouses (1-13) lost at home to fourth ranked Hitachi Sunrockers (8-6) 82-64 on Sunday. The game without a history. Hitachi Sunrockers led from the first minutes and controlled entire game increasing their lead in each quarter. Hitachi Sunrockers outrebounded Toyama Grouses 39-28 including a 27-16 advantage in defensive rebounds. They shot the lights out from three sinking 15 long-distance shots on high 51.7 percentage. Hitachi Sunrockers looked well-organized offensively handing out 22 assists comparing to just 8 passes made by Toyama Grouses' players. Naturalized American guard Aki Chambers (190-90, college: Cal Merced) orchestrated the victory by scoring 18 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists. The former international guard Kenta Hirose (193-85) contributed with 20 points for the winners. Four Hitachi Sunrockers players scored in double figures. Guard Takeshi Mito (184-85) replied with 19 points and Puerto Rican center Angel Garcia (209-88, college: Memphis) added 16 points and 6 rebounds in the effort for Toyama Grouses. Toyama Grouses' coach Bob Nash rotated ten players seeing no chance for a win. Hitachi Sunrockers moved-up to third place, which they share with Niigata Albirex. Toyama Grouses lost twelfth consecutive game. They keep the sixth position with 13 games lost. Hitachi Sunrockers 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 on the road against Yokohama BC (#5) and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
