Shimane Susanoo Magic head into the contest with a 80-72 victory over the Saga Ballooners. It was a much-need victory after a disappointing outing against Shiga Lake Stars last week. The Magic won third out of the last four games. They also tied the regular-season series 1-1 against Saga. With this win, Shimane improved to 20-17 in the regular season and 8-8 at home.
Nick Kay was the leading scorer with 24 points and eight rebounds. Coty Clarke went for 17 points and seven rebounds. James Michael McAdoo contributed 15 points and eight rebounds, while Taichi Nakamura added 13 points and eight assists. Shimane were outscored 18-28 in the opening quarter but they bounced back in the next two quarters to take an 11-point lead.
Shimane shot 44% from the floor and just 22% from the 3-point range. Defensively, the Magic recorded 11 steals and two blocks. They out-rebounded the opposition 39-33. Shimane recently dropped a league game against Shiga for the first time since 2021 but improved their record by winning the second game. Both teams had the biggest lead of 12 points in the game.
The SeaHorses Mikawa are high on confidence following a winning run in the league. Mikawa are currently on a five-game winning streak. The SeaHorses are coming off a 95-91 victory against Hokkaido, who has posted a season-best home record this season. Beating a team like Hokkaido in their home arena isn’t an easy thing. They are only the second team in the league to beat Levanga on the road.
