Tokyo Takes Control Before Halftime

Tokyo established its advantage early, outscoring Utsunomiya 26–15 in the opening quarter.

The hosts strengthened their position in the second, scoring 25 points while holding the Brex to just 10. Tokyo entered halftime ahead 51–25, having built a substantial cushion through a 25-point swing across the first two periods.

The opening half ultimately defined the contest. Utsunomiya faced the challenge of recovering a 26-point deficit against a Tokyo team that would finish with five players scoring in double figures.

Rossiter Connects Tokyo’s Offense

Rossiter’s triple-double was central to Tokyo’s collective performance.

He recorded 10 of the team’s 21 assists and collected 13 rebounds, including 12 at the defensive end. He also contributed three blocks and two steals in just over 26 minutes.

His passing complemented Tokyo’s efficient scoring inside the arc. Alvark converted 26 of 38 two-point attempts, shooting 68.4 percent, and finished at 53.6 percent from the field overall.

After registering 12 assists and nine rebounds in Saturday’s victory, Rossiter again influenced the game through his distribution and rebounding, this time reaching double figures in three statistical categories.

Johnson, Hogg and Ando Lead the Scoring

Johnson delivered an exceptionally efficient scoring performance, finishing 8-of-9 from the field.

All eight of his two-point attempts were successful, and he added five free throws to reach a team-high 21 points in fewer than 25 minutes.

Hogg contributed 19 points on 7-of-12 shooting, including three of five from beyond the arc. He also recorded four rebounds, two assists and a steal.

Ando provided Tokyo’s largest individual contribution from long range, making five of 11 three-point attempts. His 18 points were accompanied by seven rebounds.

Together, Johnson, Hogg and Ando accounted for 58 points, giving Tokyo productive scoring options both inside and outside.

Utsunomiya Responds in the Third Quarter

The Brex showed a stronger offensive response after halftime.

Utsunomiya outscored Tokyo 31–24 in the third quarter, reducing the deficit to 75–56 entering the final period.

Frazier finished with 19 points on 7-of-13 shooting, including three three-pointers. Ogawa added 14 points, three rebounds and seven assists, contributing as both a scorer and a creator.

Fotu scored 12 points on 5-of-8 shooting, while Gavin Edwards added 11 points and seven rebounds. Makoto Hiejima contributed 10 points and five assists.

Despite winning the third quarter by seven points, Utsunomiya still faced a 19-point deficit with 10 minutes remaining.

Tokyo Finishes With a Dominant Fourth Quarter

Tokyo answered the visitors’ response by outscoring Utsunomiya 31–15 in the final period.

The hosts extended their advantage to 35 points, securing a second consecutive 100-point performance against the Brex.

Zack Baranski contributed 10 points off the bench, making four of five field-goal attempts, including two three-pointers. He also collected four rebounds and two steals.

DeJon Jarreau added nine points, seven rebounds and two assists in fewer than 15 minutes. Ryo Iida scored five points, while Gen Hiraiwa and Hiroto Nakamura contributed four apiece.

Tokyo finished with 32 bench points, providing further support for its starting lineup.

Efficiency and Defensive Rebounding Define the Victory

Tokyo combined efficient finishing with control of the defensive boards.

The hosts outrebounded Utsunomiya 42–37, with Rossiter, Ando and Jarreau combining for 27 rebounds. Tokyo also recorded eight steals and five blocks.

Utsunomiya finished at 36.8 percent from the field and made nine of 32 three-point attempts, shooting 28.1 percent.

Tokyo converted 11 of 31 from beyond the arc and added 21 successful free throws, compared with Utsunomiya’s 12.

Rossiter’s all-around contribution, Johnson’s accuracy inside and the scoring supplied by Hogg and Ando gave Alvark the foundation for a comprehensive home victory. Utsunomiya’s third-quarter response demonstrated resilience, but Tokyo’s dominant opening half and strong finish proved decisive.
