Regular Season Round 18: Niigata A. - Saitama 91-74

Date: January 25, 2025
Not a big story in a game when 10th ranked Broncos (15-17) were defeated on the road by sixth ranked Niigata A. (17-14) 91-74 on Saturday. Niigata A. made 18-of-22 free shots (81.8 percent) during the game. Niigata A. outrebounded Saitama 43-28 including a 35-21 advantage in defensive rebounds. American-Jamaican power forward Kyle Hunt (208-1989, college: USAO, agency: BIG) had a double-double by scoring 21 points and 11 rebounds to lead the charge for the winners and American power forward Evan Ravenel (204-1989, college: Ohio St.) chipped in 23 points and 6 rebounds (on 9-of-10 shooting from the field) during the contest. Five Niigata A. players scored in double figures. The best for the losing side was American power forward Ryan Watkins (206-1991, college: Boise St., agency: Slash Sports) with a double-double by scoring 17 points and 14 rebounds and guard Haruto Shifuta (185-2000) scored 13 points and 4 assists. Both coaches tested many bench players and allowed the starting five to rest. Niigata A. maintains sixth position with 17-14 record, which they share with Shinagawa. Saitama lost fourth consecutive game. They dropped to the ninth place with 17 games lost. Niigata A. will meet at home higher ranked Tokyo Z (#5) in the next round and it may be quite challenging game. Saitama will play against the league's second-placed Kagawa (#2) and hope to secure a win.
