Kobe enter this matchup as the benchmark side in B2, riding a 19-2 record and a recent run that includes back-to-back wins over Fukuoka (88-71 and 86-49) plus victories against Yokohama and Ehime. Across those last five games, they have averaged 76.4 points while allowing just 65.0, reflecting a defense that routinely squeezes opponents well below their season norms.
For the year, Kobe post 85.2 points, 40.6 rebounds, 19.2 assists, 6.8 steals and 2.6 blocks per game, with Yoeli Childs at the core of everything they do through his 18.1 points and 12.1 rebounds, supported by Shuto Terazono (14.2 points) and Rawle Alkins (12.9).
Kagoshima Rebnise arrive in Kobe playing some of their best basketball of the season, sitting 3rd in the West at 11-10 and coming off a high-scoring home split against Fukui.
Their last five games feature wins over Iwate twice (90–84 and 93–85) and a 112-106 shootout victory over Fukui, offset only by a 96–86 loss in the first leg of that doubleheader, giving them a five-game average of 93.0 points for and 91.8 against.
Over the season, Rebnise match Kobe’s offensive output at 85.3 points per game but are losers defensively, conceding 80.7 while collecting 35.7 rebounds, 21.2 assists, 6.1 steals and 3.5 blocks. Anthony Gaines leads with 19.0 points and 7.6 rebounds, Josh Sharma adds 13.0 points and 8.5 boards, and Patrik Auda contributes 12.2 points and 5.1 rebounds, forming a frontcourt trio that can punish mismatches and draw fouls inside.
