The game between Top Four teams took place in Sendai. 4th placed host Sendai 89ers (13-17) lost to third ranked Yamagata (15-15) 84-70. Yamagata players were unselfish on offense dishing 22 assists. It was an exceptional evening for American forward Billy McShepard (208-87, college: Valdosta St., agency: Blacktop Management) who led the winners and scored 29 points and 7 rebounds. His fellow American import center Will Creekmore (205-89, college: Missouri St.) accounted for 11 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists for the winning side. South Sudanese-American forward Angelo Chol (206-93, college: San Diego St., agency: Two Points) came up with 17 points and 6 rebounds and guard Kaito Ishikawa (188-90) added 11 points and 4 assists respectively for Sendai 89ers in the defeat.
