Regular Season Round 44: Kanazawa - Saitama 86-91

Date: March 12, 2022
Very expected game when 15th ranked Kanazawa (1-34) lost to eighth ranked Saitama (20-13) in Ishikawa 86-91 on Saturday. Saitama made 31-of-40 free shots (77.5 percent) during the game, while Kanazawa only scored six points from the stripe. They outrebounded Kanazawa 54-24 including a 23-9 advantage in offensive rebounds. 33 personal fouls committed by Kanazawa helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities. American power forward Ryan Watkins (206-1991, college: Boise St., agency: Slash Sports) orchestrated the victory with a double-double by scoring 32 points and 18 rebounds. The other American import center Will Creekmore (205-1989, college: Missouri St.) contributed with 28 points and 8 rebounds for the winners. Point guard Daichi Tomioka (165-1995) replied with 7 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists and power forward Blake Aoki (202-1993) added 12 points in the effort for Kanazawa. Both coaches tested many bench players in such tough game. Saitama maintains eighth position with 20-13 record. Kanazawa lost fourth consecutive game. They stay dead last with 34 lost games. Saitama will have a break next round, and it should allow them to practice more before next game. Kanazawa will play again at home against Saitama (#8) and is hoping to prove to their fans that they can break losing series.
