Date: October 23, 2021
The game between third ranked Saitama (5-2) and eighth ranked Gifu (4-3) was the most important one in the last round on Saturday night. Saitama was defeated by Gifu in Gifu 77-89. It ended at the same time the three-game winning streak of Saitama. Gifu dominated down low during the game scoring 60 of its points in the paint compared to Saitama's 30. They outrebounded Saitama 49-28 including a 33-20 advantage in defensive rebounds. Worth to mention a great performance of American center Jayce Johnson (213-97, college: Marquette) who helped to win the game recording a double-double by scoring 31 points and 26 rebounds. His fellow American import forward Alex Floresca (203-96, college: San Diego) contributed with a double-double by scoring 10 points and 10 rebounds for the winners. American power forward Ryan Watkins (206-91, college: Boise St.) answered with 18 points and 6 rebounds and point guard Ren Nagashima (177-97) added 10 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists in the effort for Saitama. Both teams had four players each who scored in double figures. Both coaches used bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Gifu moved-up to seventh place. Saitama at the other side dropped to the fourth position with two games lost. Gifu are again looking forward to face higher ranked Saitama (#4) at home in the next round and it will be quite challenging to get another victory. Saitama will have a break next round.
