Regular Season Round 21: Osaka Evessa - Toyama Grouses 98-93
Date: December 6, 2016
Rather expected game when 6th ranked Toyama Grouses (2-19) were defeated on the road by third ranked Osaka Evessa (12-9) 98-93 on Tuesday. Toyama Grouses were trailing by 2 points at halftime but managed to get 1-point lead after three quarters before a 36-30 charge of Osaka Evessa, which allowed them to win the game. They looked well-organized offensively handing out 21 assists. Great defensive blocking was one of the keys in this match when Osaka Evessa made 8 blocks. American power forward Xavier Gibson (210-88, college: Florida St.) stepped up with a double-double by scoring 26 points and 10 rebounds for the winners and his fellow American import forward Josh Harrellson (208-89, college: Kentucky) chipped in 19 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists. The best for the losing side was American forward Sam Willard (205-88, college: Pacific, agency: Pensack Sports) with a double-double by scoring 22 points and 13 rebounds and Masashi Joho (183-82) scored 18 points. Both teams had four players each who scored in double figures. Both coaches tested many bench players in such tough game. The victory was the fourth consecutive win for Osaka Evessa. They moved-up to second place, which they share with Nagoya DD and Sanen. Toyama Grouses lost their fifth game in a row. They keep the sixth position with 19 games lost. Osaka Evessa will face Hitachi Sunrockers (#3) in Tokyo in the next round, which may be the game of the day. Toyama Grouses will play at home against Shiga L-Stars and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
