Regular Season Round 59: Niigata Albirex - Yokohama BC 89-88
Date: April 20, 2019
Sixth-ranked Yokohama BC (14-45) gave a tough game to first ranked Niigata Albirex (44-15) on Saturday. Niigata Albirex managed to secure only one-point victory 89-88. However their fans expected much easier game. Strangely Yokohama BC outrebounded Niigata Albirex 46-29 including a 33-22 advantage in defensive rebounds. It was a great evening for American Davante Gardner (203-91, college: Marquette) who led his team to a victory with a double-double by scoring 34 points (!!!), 10 rebounds and 4 assists. His fellow American import power forward Lamont Hamilton (208-84, college: St.John's) helped adding 10 points and 5 rebounds. American power forward Alex Stepheson (208-87, college: USC) responded with a double-double by scoring 24 points and 21 rebounds (on 10-of-13 shooting from the field) and the former international point guard Ryo Tawatari (180-93, college: Dominican, CA) scored 17 points and 7 assists. Both teams had four players each who scored in double figures. Both coaches used bench players in such tough game. Niigata Albirex have an impressive series of nine victories in a row. They maintain first place with 44-15 record. Yokohama BC lost twelfth consecutive game. They keep the sixth position with 45 games lost. Niigata Albirex are again looking forward to face Yokohama BC (#6) at home in the next round which should be theoretically an easy game. Yokohama BC will have a break next round.
