Fighting Eagles Nagoya delivered a competitive but ultimately insufficient performance in their 80-75 loss to the Ibaraki Robots, struggling to sustain offensive efficiency down the stretch.
Takaya Sasayama led the scoring with 19 points, while Ryuto Yasuoka added 17 points and Tensho Sugimoto added 10 points, providing scoring support. Sean O’mara controlled the boards with 14 rebounds, but their efforts weren’t enough.
Offensively, Nagayo shot a balanced 32.9% from the field, including 28.9% from the perimeter and 83.3% from the free throw line, while dishing out 20 assists. Defensively, they controlled the boards 46-45, but missed opportunities and 11 turnovers, 21 fouls, limited their late game push.
The narrow margin illustrates Nagoya’s competitiveness but also underscores execution issues in clutch situations, particularly defensively, which continue to hinder their ability to close tight games despite solid overall offensive production.
Overall, the team has been averaging 80.8 points per game, while dishing out 19.3 assists. Defensively, they record 39.1 rebounds, but allow opponents to score 82.6 points per game.
In their 78-72 loss to San-en NeoPhoenix, Yokohama B-Corsairs fought hard but couldn’t close out the game, falling by six in this 2025-26 B1.League matchup. Yokohama kept it tight early but the NeoPhoenix pulled ahead with a stronger second quarter and maintained control thereafter.
Yokohama’s scoring was paced by Damien Inglis, who posted 24 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists, showing his offensive impact despite the defeat. Key contributions also came from Seiya Ando (12 pts) and Kiefer Ravena (11 pts), but Yokohama’s shooting efficiency dipped at crucial moments, particularly from deep.
Offensively, Yokohama shot 44.6% from the field, 23.8% from the perimeter and 75% from the free throw line, while dishing out 20 assists. Defensively, they got outrebounded 42-28, giving away multiple second chance opportunities and committed key turnovers and 23 fouls down the stretch.
Yokohama, who now sit with a 13-24 record, reflect on their ongoing struggles to convert close games into wins this season. Overall, the team has been averaging 77.8 points per game, while dishing out 19.4 assists. Defensively, they record 35.2 rebounds, but allow opponents to score 81.9 points per game.
