Date: November 3, 2024
There was an upset in Saitama where higher ranked Tachikawa (6-4) was defeated by twelfth ranked Broncos (5-7) 79-67 on Sunday. Saitama dominated down low during the game scoring 54 of its points in the paint compared to Tachikawa's 32. They outrebounded Tachikawa 41-29 including 33 on the defensive glass. Great defensive blocking was one of the keys in this match when Saitama made 8 blocks. Serbian-Montenegrin forward Milko Bjelica (207-1984, agency: BIG) scored 20 points and 8 rebounds to lead the charge for the winners and American power forward Ryan Watkins (206-1991, college: Boise St., agency: Slash Sports) chipped in 12 points and 11 rebounds during the contest. Four Broncos players scored in double figures. The best for the losing side was American power forward Andrew Fitzgerald (202-1990, college: Oklahoma, agency: Octagon Europe) with a double-double by scoring 17 points and 11 rebounds and his fellow American import forward Jordan Bruner (208-1997, college: Alabama, agency: Diamond Sports) scored 14 points and 7 rebounds. Both coaches tested many bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Saitama moved-up to ninth place. Loser Tachikawa dropped to the sixth position with four games lost. They share it with Tokyo Z. Saitama will have a break next round, and it should allow them to practice more before next game. Tachikawa will play against Tokushima Gam. (#8) and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
