Regular Season Round 32: Yamagata - Fukushima 79-90

Date: February 25, 2024
We could consider it a predictable result in the game between close teams in Yamagata where fifth ranked Firebonds (18-25) defeated one of their biggest challengers Wyverns (20-23) 90-79 on Sunday. Fukushima dominated down low during the game scoring 66 of its points in the paint compared to Wyverns's 40. Fukushima outrebounded Yamagata 41-30 including a 30-18 advantage in defensive rebounds. Fukushima looked well-organized offensively handing out 25 assists. Worth to mention a great performance of Venezuelan center Gregory Echenique (208-1990, college: Creighton, agency: Pensack Sports) who helped to win the game recording a double-double by scoring 19 points and 12 rebounds and Lithuanian forward Rapolas Ivanauskas (208-1998, college: Cincinnati) who added 24 points and 7 rebounds during the contest. American TJ Holyfield (203-1995, college: Texas Tech) responded with a double-double by scoring 22 points and 11 rebounds (was perfect 8-for-8 from the free throw line) and his fellow American import James Bell (196-1992, college: Villanova, agency: Slash Sports) scored 20 points and 5 assists. Both teams had four players each who scored in double figures. Both coaches allowed to play bench players saving starting five for next games. Firebonds have a solid three-game winning streak. Fukushima maintains fifth position with 18-25 record. Yamagata lost sixth consecutive game. They keep the fourth place with 23 games lost. Fukushima will meet higher ranked Aomori W. (#3) on the road in the next round and it may be quite challenging game. Yamagata will play against the league's second-placed Koshigaya A. in Tokyo and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
