Hitachi Sunrockers had a 27-16 advantage in offensive rebounds. Dragonflies were plagued by 26 personal fouls down the stretch. It was a good game for American power forward Joshua Heytvelt (210-86, college: Gonzaga) who led his team to a victory with a double-double by scoring 43 points (!!!) and 11 rebounds. The other American import forward Ira Brown (193-82, college: Gonzaga) contributed with 19 points for the winners.
