Regular Season Round 49: Yamaguchi - Saitama 70-98

Date: March 23, 2024
Very expected game when 15th ranked Pats Five (15-32) was smashed by fifth ranked Broncos (31-16) in Yamaguchi 98-70 on Saturday. Saitama outrebounded Yamaguchi 50-30 including a 35-23 advantage in defensive rebounds. Saitama looked well-organized offensively handing out 31 assists comparing to just 15 passes made by Yamaguchi's players. Naturalized American center Will Creekmore (205-1989, college: Missouri St.) nailed a triple-double by scoring 13 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists for the winning side and Nigerian-American power forward Maxie Esho (206-1991, college: UMass) accounted for 14 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists. American forward Deandre Abram (203-1997, college: Milwaukee) came up with 18 points and 8 rebounds and the other American import swingman Jelan-Miguel Kendrick (201-1991, college: UNLV) added 15 points and 6 rebounds respectively for Yamaguchi in the defeat. Five Saitama and four Yamaguchi 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 moved-up to fourth place, which they share with Tokushima Gam. Yamaguchi lost their third game in a row. They keep the fifteenth position with 32 games lost. Saitama will have a break next round, and it should allow them to practice more before next game. Yamaguchi will play against Saitama (#4) and hope to secure a win.
