Regular Season Round 1: Saitama - Iwate 89-86

Date: October 1, 2022
Iwate recorded a loss on the court of Saitama on Saturday night. Visitors were edged by Saitama 89-86. Great defensive blocking was one of the keys in this match when Saitama made 7 blocks. 28 personal fouls committed by Iwate helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities. American center Will Creekmore (205-1989, college: Missouri St.) fired 23 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists (made all of his eight free throws) for the winners. His fellow American import Grant Sitton (206-1993, college: Victoria) chipped in 19 points and 5 rebounds. Beninese power forward Muusa Dama (207-1996, college: EIU, agency: Blacktop Management) produced a double-double by scoring 23 points and 13 rebounds and American forward Kristian Doolittle (201-1997, college: Oklahoma, agency: Pensack Sports) added 22 points and 10 rebounds respectively for lost side. Both teams had four players each who scored in double figures. Both coaches used bench players in such tough game. Saitama is again looking forward to face Iwate at home in the next round which should be theoretically an easy game. Iwate will have a break next round.
