Regular Season Round 50: Saga B. - Hokkaido L. 79-76

Date: April 8, 2026
A very close game took place in Saga between Ballooners and Sapporo. Seventh ranked Ballooners (26-24) got a very close home victory over 5th ranked Sapporo (31-19). Ballooners managed to escape with a 3-point win 79-76 on Wednesday evening. The hosts trailed by 6 points at the halftime before their 45-36 charge in the second half, which allowed them to win the game. Ballooners made 17-of-21 free shots (81.0 percent) during the game. They looked well-organized offensively handing out 27 assists. American power forward Tanner Groves (208-1999, college: Oklahoma) scored 20 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists to lead the charge for the winners and Puerto Rican-American swingman Davon Reed (198-1995, college: Miami, FL) chipped in 11 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists during the contest. Nigerian-American center Jahlil Okafor (211-1995, college: Duke) responded with 19 points and 9 rebounds (on 7-of-9 shooting from the field) and Filipino guard Dwight Ramos (193-1998, college: CPP) scored 15 points and 5 rebounds. Sapporo's coach tried various players' combinations and tested in total twelve players in this game, but that didn't help. Saga B. maintains seventh position with 26-24 record. Hokkaido L. lost third consecutive game. They keep the fifth place with 19 games lost. Saga B. will meet at home Kyoto H. (#11) in the next round. Hokkaido L. will play against the league's leader Nagasaki (#1) and will have a slim chance for a victory.
