Regular Season Round 44: Sendai 89ers - Akita NH 87-76

Date: March 15, 2026
Not a big story in a game in Sendai where 13th ranked Happinets (7-37) were defeated by sixth ranked 89ers (27-17) 87-76 on Sunday. Sendai 89ers made 18-of-23 free shots (78.3 percent) during the game. The best player for the winners was American guard Jarrett Culver (198-1999, college: Texas Tech) who scored 52 points (!!!) and 5 rebounds. The other American import Nathan Boothe (208-1994, college: Toledo) chipped in 10 points and 9 rebounds. point guard Takuya Nakayama (182-1994) produced 29 points and 7 rebounds and New Zealand-German center Yannick Wetzell (206-1996, college: SDSU) added 13 points and 8 rebounds respectively for the guests. 89ers have a solid four-game winning streak. Sendai 89ers maintains sixth position with 27-17 record. Akita NH lost ninth consecutive game. They keep the thirteenth place with 37 games lost. Sendai 89ers will meet league's leader Nagasaki on the road in the next round and they do not belong to the favorites in that game. Akita NH will play against Kyoto H. (#12) and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
