Regular Season Round 26: Tokyo Z - Saitama 76-80

Date: March 22, 2025
There was an upset in Tokyo where higher ranked Earthfriends (24-22) were defeated by tenth ranked Broncos (20-24) 80-76 on Saturday. Strangely Tokyo Z outrebounded Saitama 38-26 including 32 on the defensive glass. The best player for the winners was point guard Hikaru Akiyama (174-1995) who scored 19 points and 4 assists. Point guard Shota Imaike (169-2001) chipped in 16 points. American forward Jacob Lampkin (206-1996, college: Alaska-Anch.) produced a double-double by scoring 19 points and 13 rebounds and his fellow American import guard Jaycee Hillsman (200-1996, college: Illinois St.) added 16 points and 6 rebounds respectively for the hosts. Both teams had four players each who scored in double figures. Earthfriends' coach rotated ten players in this game, but that didn't help. Despite that victory Saitama went down to eleventh position due to points difference. Loser Earthfriends keeps the sixth place with 22 games lost. Saitama will meet higher ranked Iwate (#4) on the road in the next round and they do not belong to the favorites in that game. Tokyo Z will play against Okayama and hope to secure a win.
