Date: December 18, 2016
The game in Akita was also quite interesting. Second ranked Niigata Albirex (14-11) played at the court of 5th ranked Akita Happinets (6-19). Niigata Albirex defeated Akita Happinets 87-74 on Sunday. The game was mostly controlled by Niigata Albirex. Akita Happinets was better in third quarter 27-23. But it was not enough to take a lead and get a victory that evening.

American Davante Gardner (203-91, college: Marquette) fired a double-double by scoring 33 points (!!!), 11 rebounds and 4 assists for the winners. The former international guard Kei Igarashi (180-80) chipped in 11 points and 4 assists.

Both teams had four players each who scored in double figures. Akita Happinets' coach rotated ten players in this game, but that didn't help.
