Regular Season Round 29: Saitama - Shanan Utd 97-80

Date: January 22, 2023
Fourth ranked Saitama (24-6) crushed at home 15th ranked Shanan Utd (8-22) by 17 points 97-80, which is the biggest margin this round on Sunday night. Saitama looked well-organized offensively handing out 24 assists. The best player for the winners was American power forward Ryan Watkins (206-1991, college: Boise St., agency: Slash Sports) who had a double-double by scoring 16 points and 13 rebounds. His fellow American import Grant Sitton (206-1993, college: Victoria) chipped in 18 points. Four Saitama players scored in double figures. American center Joshua Crawford (211-1988, college: Indiana St.) produced a double-double by scoring 27 points and 11 rebounds and forward Abu Philip (198-1997) added 21 points and 6 rebounds respectively for the guests. Both coaches tested many bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Saitama have an impressive series of five victories in a row. They maintain fourth place with 24-6 record. Shanan Utd lost sixth consecutive game. Newly promoted team keeps the fifteenth position with 22 games lost. Saitama will meet at home Tachikawa (#13) in the next round and are hoping to win another game. Shanan Utd will play against Shinagawa and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
