Game Flow and Key Moments
Kagoshima started strong, feeding the post and knocking down two early three-pointers to take a 17-12 lead. Kanazawa responded with a 14-2 run to close the first quarter, and the Samuraiz never trailed again. By halftime, Kanazawa led 47-38 behind efficient shooting and a 12-4 advantage in fast-break points.

Kagoshima made a brief push in the fourth quarter, cutting the deficit to 11, but Kanazawa answered with a timely three-pointer and free throws to close out the win.
Tactical Story: Balance and Ball Security
Kanazawa’s offense was remarkably balanced, with five players scoring in double figures. The Samuraiz moved the ball crisply, recording 26 assists on 32 made field goals, and committed only nine turnovers. That efficiency prevented Kagoshima from generating easy transition points and forced the Rebnise to defend for long stretches.
Kagoshima’s defense struggled to contain Kanazawa’s pick-and-roll attack, especially when the Samuraiz’s guards turned the corner and attacked the rim. On offense, Kagoshima relied too heavily on individual scoring and finished with 15 turnovers, which Kanazawa converted into 19 points.
