Regular Season Round 50: Saitama - Kagoshima 87-94

Date: April 9, 2022
Not a big story in a game when 9th ranked Saitama (21-16) lost at home to third ranked Kagoshima (31-9) 94-87 on Saturday. Kagoshima made 16-of-18 free shots (88.9 percent) during the game. Kagoshima outrebounded Saitama 45-33 including a 34-21 advantage in defensive rebounds. American players dominated the game. Swingman Anthony Gaines Jr (195-1993, college: LCU) notched 25 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists to lead the effort and forward Christian Cunningham (201-1997, college: JSU) supported him with 19 points, 15 rebounds and 4 assists. Five Kagoshima players scored in double figures. Even a double-double of 27 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists by center Will Creekmore (205-1989, college: Missouri St.) did not help to save the game for Saitama. Power forward Ryan Watkins (206-1991, college: Boise St., agency: Slash Sports) added 22 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists for the hosts. Both coaches allowed to play bench players saving starting five for next games. Kagoshima maintains third position with 31-9 record having seven points less than leader Nagasaki. Saitama lost third consecutive game. They keep the ninth place with 16 games lost. Both teams do not play next round, which will be an opportunity for some rest.
