Regular Season Round 21: Tachikawa - Saitama 69-85

Date: December 18, 2022
Not a big story in a game when 14th ranked Tachikawa (6-16) was defeated at home by fourth ranked Saitama (17-5) 85-69 on Sunday. Saitama made 18-of-23 free shots (78.3 percent) during the game. Saitama outrebounded Tachikawa 43-30 including a 15-3 advantage in offensive rebounds. American power forward Ryan Watkins (206-1991, college: Boise St., agency: Slash Sports) stepped up with a double-double by scoring 17 points, 22 rebounds and 4 blocks for the winners and his fellow American import Grant Sitton (206-1993, college: Victoria) chipped in 10 points and 6 rebounds. Five Saitama players scored in double figures. The best for the losing side was American forward Tristin Walley (201-1996, college: Arkansas St., agency: One Motive Sports) with 21 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists and point guard Ryusei Abe (181-1995) scored 14 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists. Both coaches used bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. The victory was the tenth consecutive win for Saitama. They maintain fourth place with 17-5 record. Newly promoted Tachikawa keeps the fourteenth position with 16 games lost. They share it with Yamaguchi. Saitama are looking forward to face Veertien Mie (#11) in Yokkaichi in the next round and are hoping to win another game. Tachikawa will play on the road against the league's second-placed Shizuoka and is hoping to prove to their supporters that this time they can win.
