Date: January 30, 2019
We could consider it a predictable result in the game between close teams when fifth ranked San-en NeoPhoenix (16-20) won against one of their biggest challengers Toyama Grouses (18-18) in Hamamatsu 87-76 on Wednesday. San-en NeoPhoenix looked well-organized offensively handing out 21 assists. It was a good game for point guard Shinnosuke Ohishi (174-87) who led his team to a victory with 11 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists. American center William McDonald (211-79, college: S.Florida) contributed with 15 points and 6 rebounds for the winners. San-en NeoPhoenix's coach Hiroki Fujita used a ten-player rotation and allowed the starting five to rest. American forward Leo Lyons (206-87, college: Missouri) replied with a double-double by scoring 19 points and 14 rebounds and his fellow American import center Joshua Smith (208-92, college: Georgetown) added 24 points and 7 rebounds in the effort for Toyama Grouses. Both teams had four players each who scored in double figures. San-en NeoPhoenix have a solid three-game winning streak. They moved-up to fourth place, which they share with Hitachi SR. Toyama Grouses lost fifth consecutive game. They keep the fourth position with 18 games lost. San-en NeoPhoenix will face Yokohama BC (#6) on the road in the next round. Toyama Grouses will play against the league's second-placed Diamond Dolphins in Nagoya and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
