Teams Preview

Yokohama Excellence

Yokohama Excellence come into Sunday’s matchup riding an incredible 11-game winning streak and full of confidence after a dominant display on Saturday. With a 20-9 record from 29 games, Excellence have established themselves as one of the most consistent teams in the Eastern Conference and remain firmly on track for a playoff spot.

Excellence are averaging 84.8 points per game, while allowing 78.7, giving them one of the stronger point differentials in the conference. They also control games through ball movement and defensive activity, posting 20.7 assists, 9.2 steals, and 37.0 rebounds per game.

Tracy Boyd III has been outstanding this season, leading the team with 27.8 points per game and continuing to punish defenses with his shot creation. Elijah Williams provides interior balance, averaging 13.1 points and 8.6 rebounds, while Benjamin Lawson adds physicality and rebounding support.

On Saturday, Excellence were ruthless from the opening tip. Boyd III poured in 39 points, while Williams recorded a 13-point, 13-rebound double-double. Yokohama shot 50.65 percent from the field, hit 11 three-pointers, and completely controlled the tempo from start to finish.

Aomori Wat's

Aomori continue to endure a difficult campaign and remain bottom of the Eastern Conference with a 5-24 record after 29 games. Defensive lapses and inconsistent shooting have defined their season, and Saturday’s heavy loss highlighted many of those issues once again.

The team is averaging just 70.7 points per game, while conceding 83.2, and has struggled to keep pace with higher-ranked opponents. Aomori collect 33.4 rebounds per game and average 17.4 assists, but poor efficiency has often undone their efforts.

Rashard Kelly leads Aomori in scoring with 14.8 points per game and also contributes 8.1 rebounds, while Max Hisatake adds 13.9 points and a team-high 10.8 rebounds. Tim Dalger has chipped in with 8.8 points, but consistent scoring depth has been hard to find.

In Saturday’s loss, Kelly scored 22 points, while Hisatake finished with 10 points and 14 rebounds. However, Aomori shot just 35.82 percent from the field and a concerning 13.33 percent from three-point range, making it difficult to stay competitive.
