Regular Season Round 25: Iwate - Saitama 85-77

Date: January 2, 2022
The game between closely ranked teams ended with sixth ranked Iwate's (16-8) home victory over 7th ranked Saitama (14-10) 85-77 on Sunday. They outrebounded Saitama 40-28 including 29 on the defensive glass. American Kyle Richardson (200-91, college: Portland St.) stepped up and scored 32 points and 9 rebounds for the winners and guard Keisuke Takabatake (183-90) chipped in 14 points and 7 assists. At the losing side American center Will Creekmore (205-89, college: Missouri St.) responded with 22 points and 5 rebounds and American-Irish forward Brian Voelkel (196-92, college: Vermont) scored 16 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists. Four Saitama players scored in double figures. Both coaches used bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Iwate moved-up to fifth place. Loser Saitama keeps the seventh position with ten games lost. Iwate will meet league's leader Nagasaki on the road in the next round and it will be quite challenging to get another victory. Saitama will play against Tokyo HT (#9) and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
