Regular Season Round 28: Niigata A. - Tokyo Z 85-63

Date: January 10, 2026
Very predictable result when fifth ranked Albirex (17-11) rolled over 13th ranked Earthfriends (9-19) in Niigata 85-63 on Saturday. Niigata A. outrebounded Tokyo Z 38-21 including a 29-12 advantage in defensive rebounds. Niigata A. looked well-organized offensively handing out 23 assists comparing to just 9 passes made by Tokyo Z's players. Great defensive blocking was one of the keys in this match when Niigata A. made 7 blocks. The winners were led by American-Filipino forward Eugene Phelps (198-1990, college: LBSU) who had that evening a double-double by scoring 16 points and 10 rebounds and center Mutombo Jean-Pierre (206-2002) supported him with 13 points, 11 rebounds and 6 blocks. Four Albirex players scored in double figures. Even 21 points and 5 rebounds by American power forward Jeremy Combs (201-1995, college: Texas Southern) did not help to save the game for Tokyo Z. His fellow American import forward Malik Benlevi (198-1997, college: Georgia St.) added 11 points and 6 rebounds for lost side. Since the result was very predictable, it gave the chance for the coaches to test many bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Niigata A. maintains fifth position with 17-11 record. Tokyo Z at the other side dropped to the eleventh place with 19 games lost. Niigata A. will meet Gifu (#7) on the road in the next round. Tokyo Z's supporters look forward to an exciting derby game next round, where their team will face at home their local rival from Tokyo Tokyo.
