Date: March 31, 2019
Very expected game when 6th ranked Aomori Watts (13-41) were defeated on the road by first ranked Gunma (38-16) 93-88 on Sunday. However just five-point win is not that big difference and the fans of host team counted on more convincing victory. Gunma forced 19 Aomori Watts turnovers. They looked well-organized offensively handing out 21 assists. The best player for the winners was American forward Thomas Kennedy (201-87, college: Detroit Mercy) who had a double-double by scoring 34 points (!!!) and 11 rebounds. Nigerian forward Abdullahi Kuso (206-84, college: Tallahassee CC) chipped in a double-double by scoring 13 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists and 5 steals. At the other side the best for losing team was American forward Cullen Russo (206-94, college: Fresno St.) who recorded a double-double by scoring 34 points (!!!), 17 rebounds and 7 assists and Lithuanian power forward Julius Jucikas (205-89, agency: Octagon Europe) added 13 points and 9 assists respectively. Four Aomori Watts players scored in double figures. Both coaches tested many bench players in such tough game. Gunma maintains first position with 38-16 record. Aomori Watts lost third consecutive game. They keep the sixth place with 41 games lost. Gunma will face Cyberdyne IR (#3) in Tsukuba in the next round, which may be the game of the day. Aomori Watts will play at home against Fukushima and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
