Regular Season Round 9: Saitama - Kanazawa 89-64

Date: November 3, 2023
Very expected game when 17th ranked Kanazawa (1-8) was smashed on the road by sixth ranked Saitama (6-3) 89-64 on Friday. Saitama looked well-organized offensively handing out 21 assists. 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 16 points and 15 rebounds. Nigerian-American power forward Maxie Esho (206-1991, college: UMass) contributed with 9 points and 8 rebounds for the winners. American center Joshua Crawford (211-1988, college: Indiana St.) answered with 18 points and 8 rebounds and Senegalese forward Dou Gueye (206-1997, college: Louisiana) added 11 points and 7 rebounds (went 7 for 7 at the free throw line) in the effort for Kanazawa. Four Kanazawa players scored in double figures. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. Saitama maintains sixth place with 6-3 record. Kanazawa lost sixth consecutive game. They keep the seventeenth position with eight games lost. Saitama are again looking forward to face Kanazawa (#17) in Ishikawa in the next round which should be another easy win for them. Kanazawa will have a break next round.
