Date: November 5, 2017
There was a minor upset when second-best Niigata Albirex (6-7) was defeated on the road by fourth ranked Toyama Grouses (5-8) 81-66 on Sunday. Worth to mention a great performance of American forward Sam Willard (205-88, college: Pacific, agency: Pensack Sports) who helped to win the game recording 14 points and 9 rebounds and the other American import center Dexter Pittman (208-88, college: Texas, agency: Inception Sports) who added 14 points and 9 rebounds during the contest. Four Toyama Grouses players scored in double figures. Toyama Grouses' coach Miodrag Rajkovic used a ten-player rotation and allowed the starting five to rest. The best for the losing side was American Davante Gardner (203-91, college: Marquette) with 22 points and 7 rebounds and point guard Shunki Hatakeyama (170-91) scored 8 points and 5 assists. Toyama Grouses maintains fourth position with 5-8 record. Loser Niigata Albirex keeps the second place with seven games lost. Toyama Grouses will face Yokohama BC (#6) on the road in the next round. Niigata Albirex will play against the league's leader Aishin Sea Horses (#1) and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
