Randolph Scores 27 as Chiba Jets Overpower Osaka Evessa 106–94 in Overtime

Chiba survive Osaka’s fourth-quarter comeback before dominating the extra period 13–1, with Brandon Randolph leading the way and Matt Costello making an impact in his return.

CHIBA, JAPAN — November 10, 2026 — The Chiba Jets defeated Osaka Evessa 106–94 in overtime at LaLa arena TOKYO-BAY on Tuesday night, overcoming a late Osaka rally before taking complete control of the extra period.

Brandon Randolph led Chiba with 27 points off the bench, including four three-pointers, while Luke May recorded a double-double with 19 points and 13 rebounds. Yuki Togashi contributed 18 points and six assists as the Jets secured their third consecutive victory.

Osaka, meanwhile, received 20 points and eight assists from James Palmer Jr., but struggled to generate offense in overtime after forcing the game into an additional five minutes.

Osaka Fight Back to Force Overtime

Chiba opened the contest with a narrow 24–23 advantage before strengthening its position in the second quarter. The Jets outscored Osaka 23–15 in the period to take a 47–38 lead into halftime.

Osaka responded after the break, winning the third quarter 25–19 to reduce the deficit to just three points heading into the final period.

The visitors continued their comeback in the fourth quarter, outscoring Chiba 30–27 to erase the remaining deficit and force overtime with the score tied at 93–93.

However, the momentum shifted decisively in the extra period.

Chiba dominated overtime 13–1, holding Osaka to a single point while pulling away for a 12-point victory.

The contrasting performances in regulation and overtime highlighted both Osaka’s resilience and Chiba’s ability to respond under pressure.

Randolph Leads Chiba’s Offense

Randolph delivered the Jets’ most productive scoring performance, finishing with 27 points, six rebounds and two steals in just under 24 minutes.

He made eight of his 20 field-goal attempts, including four three-pointers, and converted seven of eight free throws.

May provided a strong presence in the frontcourt, recording 19 points and 13 rebounds, including six offensive boards. His work on the glass helped Chiba maintain additional scoring opportunities throughout the contest.

Togashi added 18 points and six assists, while Riku Segawa provided an important contribution off the bench with 10 points and seven assists.

Ren Kanechika also impressed, scoring 11 points on 4-of-7 shooting, including three three-pointers.

Costello Makes an Impact in His Return

Another significant development for Chiba was the return of Matt Costello.

Playing after his removal from the injury list, Costello contributed 13 points, eight rebounds and two blocks in 20 minutes and 36 seconds.

His presence added another dimension to the Jets’ frontcourt rotation, particularly with leading scorer Nate Williams sidelined by a shoulder injury.

Costello’s ability to contribute inside while stretching the floor provides Chiba with additional offensive flexibility as the team adjusts to Williams’ absence.

The Jets were outrebounded 45–56 by neither side; rather, Chiba held a decisive 56–45 advantage on the boards, including 21 offensive rebounds compared with Osaka’s nine.

That rebounding edge helped compensate for Chiba’s lower overall shooting percentage.

Palmer and Gern Keep Osaka Competitive

Despite the defeat, Osaka showed considerable offensive improvement after halftime.

Palmer Jr. finished with 20 points, six rebounds and eight assists, contributing as both a scorer and a playmaker.

Gyochan Song added 18 points, making five of his nine three-point attempts.

Returning big man Vladimir Gern recorded 15 points, 14 rebounds and six assists, giving Osaka a strong interior presence.

Makoto Kinoshita contributed 13 points off the bench, while Hayato Maki added 10.

Osaka shot 45.6% from the field, compared with Chiba’s 41.3%, and converted 17 three-pointers on 39.5% shooting.

However, the visitors attempted just 10 free throws compared with Chiba’s 18 and were unable to capitalize on their shooting efficiency in the decisive overtime period.

Rebounding and Overtime Defense Decide the Game

The statistics underline how Chiba managed to win despite Osaka’s superior shooting percentages.

Both teams connected on 17 three-pointers, but Chiba attempted 13 more field goals overall, supported by its advantage in offensive rebounding.

The Jets collected 21 offensive boards, 12 more than Osaka, creating valuable extra possessions.

Most importantly, Chiba’s defense limited Osaka to just one point in overtime after surrendering 30 points in the fourth quarter.

The dramatic turnaround in defensive execution allowed the Jets to close out a contest that had appeared increasingly uncertain during regulation.

For Chiba, the victory demonstrated the team’s scoring depth and resilience without Williams. For Osaka, the performance offered encouragement after a difficult start to the season, although the overtime collapse ultimately overshadowed its spirited comeback.
