Regular Season Round 27: Toyoda - Saitama 74-77

Date: January 15, 2023
Thirteenth-ranked Toyoda (8-20) used its home court advantage to challenge fourth ranked Saitama (22-6) in Aichi on Sunday. The visitors from Saitama managed to secure only three-point victory 77-74. However their fans expected much easier game. Saitama made 19-of-25 free shots (76.0 percent) during the game. It was a good game for American power forward Ryan Watkins (206-1991, college: Boise St., agency: Slash Sports) who led his team to a victory with a double-double by scoring 20 points and 12 rebounds. Naturalized American center Will Creekmore (205-1989, college: Missouri St.) contributed with a double-double by scoring 15 points and 14 rebounds for the winners. Five Saitama players scored in double figures. Saitama's coach Shugaku Izumi used an eleven-player rotation in such tough game. Guamanian-American guard Earnest Ross (198-1991, college: Missouri, agency: Haylett Sports) answered with a double-double by scoring 11 points and 13 rebounds and German center Yasin Kolo (208-1992, college: Bellarmine) added 11 points and 9 rebounds in the effort for Toyoda. Saitama have a solid series of three victories in a row. They maintain fourth place with 22-6 record. Toyoda lost fifth consecutive game. They dropped to the twelfth position with 20 games lost. They share it with 3 other teams. Saitama are looking forward to face Shanan Utd (#15) in Kanagawa in the next round which should be an easy win for them. Toyoda will play on the road against Shinagawa and is hoping to prove to their supporters that they can break losing series.
