Regular Season Round 41: Sunrockers Sh. - Sendai 89ers 92-82

Date: March 8, 2026
We cannot really consider it an upset in the game between close teams in Tokyo where 6th ranked 89ers (24-17) were defeated by seventh ranked SunRockers (17-24) 92-82 on Sunday. Sunrockers Sh. looked well-organized offensively handing out 25 assists. International forward Josh Hawkinson (208-1995, college: WSU) stepped up and scored 20 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists for the winners and Brazilian guard Didi Louzada (195-1999) chipped in 22 points. American guard Jarrett Culver (198-1999, college: Texas Tech) responded with 25 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists and the other American import Nathan Boothe (208-1994, college: Toledo) scored 20 points and 5 rebounds. Both coaches tested many bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Sunrockers Sh. maintains seventh place with 17-24 record. Loser 89ers keep the sixth position with 17 games lost. Sunrockers Sh. will meet higher ranked Hokkaido L. (#4) in the next round and it will be quite challenging to get another victory. Sendai 89ers will play against Shiga L-Stars and hope to secure a win.
