Regular Season Round 24: Saitama - Shanan Utd 84-78

Date: December 20, 2025
Not a big story in a game in Saitama where 9th ranked United (10-13) was defeated by sixth ranked Broncos (14-7) 84-78 on Saturday. Worth to mention a great performance of American forward Trent Buttrick (206-1998, college: UMass) who helped to win the game recording 20 points and 9 rebounds and the other American import Devin Oliver (203-1992, college: Dayton) who added 13 points and 8 rebounds during the contest. Four Broncos players scored in double figures. The best for the losing side was American center Jacob Polakovich (208-2000, college: S.Indiana) with a double-double by scoring 18 points and 12 rebounds and Guamanian-American guard Earnest Ross (198-1991, college: Missouri, agency: Haylett Sports) scored 20 points and 6 rebounds. Both coaches allowed to play bench players saving starting five for next games. Broncos have an impressive five-game winning streak. Saitama maintains sixth position with 14-7 record. Loser United keeps the ninth place with 13 games lost. Saitama will meet at home Shanan Utd (#9) in the next round. Shanan Utd will have a break next round.
