Teams Preview

Koshigaya Alphas

Koshigaya come into this game after a 102-78 road loss to Sendai, where they struggled badly with efficiency and turnovers. They shot 47% from the field compared to Sendai’s 54% and committed 20 turnovers, which made it difficult to stay competitive. Sekou Doumbouya was their best performer with 22 points and 6 rebounds, while Joseph Diawara added 12 points and 6 rebounds. Shun Matsuyama also contributed 11 points, but overall offensive support remained limited.

They have won only 2 of their last 10 games, but playing at home gives them a better chance to respond. Koshigaya average 74.8 points and 18.8 assists per game this season, showing a team that depends more on structured half-court offense than fast pace. Their biggest strength is perimeter shooting, converting 35.3% from three-point range.

Defensively, they can struggle against fast transition teams, but against Kawasaki’s inconsistent offense, their spacing and stronger outside shooting should help them stay competitive.

Kawasaki Brave Thunders

Kawasaki arrive after a 80-71 home loss to Ryukyu, extending their losing streak to 7 games and showing continued offensive inconsistency. Dusan Ristic led the team with 22 points and 11 rebounds, while Ryuto Yamauchi scored 9 points and Ryo Iida also added 9 points. Taiga Okada contributed 8 points and 5 assists. Despite these efforts, Kawasaki shot only 42% from the field, managed 19 assists, and were heavily out-rebounded 47-32.

Their recent form remains poor, with only 2 wins in the last 10 games and an average of 76 points scored. They also tend to start slowly, losing the first quarter in 7 of their last 8 matches.

Kawasaki average 20.5 assists per game, but their weak 32.4% three-point shooting limits comeback chances. Defensive rebounding remains a major issue, especially against teams like Koshigaya that create second-chance opportunities.

Koshigaya enter this matchup with the slightly better position, sitting 21st in the standings with an 18-38 record, while Kawasaki Brave Thunders are 25th at 14-42. Both teams are struggling, but Koshigaya have shown slightly better competitiveness and benefit from home court at Koshigaya City Gymnasium.
