Date: February 10, 2019
The game between Top Four teams took place in Toyama. Fourth ranked host Toyama Grouses (21-19) smashed their close opponent Osaka Evessa (15-25) 100-72. Toyama Grouses dominated down low during the game scoring 52 of its points in the paint compared to Osaka Evessa's 32 and made 18-of-22 free shots (81.8 percent) during the game. It was a great shooting night for Toyama Grouses especially from behind the arc, where they had solid 62.5 percentage. American forward Leo Lyons (206-87, college: Missouri) fired 28 points and 4 assists for the winners. The other American import center Joshua Smith (208-92, college: Georgetown) chipped in 18 points and 9 rebounds (perfect from the field making all seven shots !!!). American-Nigerian power forward Trevor Mbakwe (207-89, college: Minnesota, agency: Pensack Sports) produced a double-double by scoring 16 points and 10 rebounds and the former international forward Naoya Kumagae (194-90) added 21 points and 6 assists respectively for lost side. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. Toyama Grouses have a solid three-game winning streak. They maintain fourth position with 21-19 record which they share with defeated Osaka Evessa. Loser Osaka Evessa keeps the fourth place with 25 games lost. Toyama Grouses will meet higher ranked Toyota Alvark (#3) in the next round and it may be the game of the week. Osaka Evessa will play against Akita Happinets and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
