Ando’s Efficient Shooting Powers Tokyo’s Offense

Hogg provided another major offensive contribution with 21 points and five rebounds, while Johnson recorded 20 points, six assists and two steals.

Together, the three players combined for 61 of Tokyo’s 88 points.

Tokyo shot 45.1 percent from the field and connected on 12 of 31 three-point attempts (38.7 percent), demonstrating balanced scoring from inside and outside.

Rossiter Dominates the Glass as Tokyo Limits San-en’s Key Players

Ryan Rossiter played a significant role in Tokyo’s victory despite scoring only four points. The veteran forward collected a game-high 15 rebounds, including 11 on the defensive end, and added five assists.

Tokyo finished with 40 rebounds compared with San-en’s 37, while also holding the visitors to 41.1 percent shooting from the field.

San-en’s leading scorer entering the matchup, Vyt Brown, was limited to just six points on 1-of-7 shooting, although he recorded 11 rebounds.

Josh Harrellson, another key presence in San-en’s frontcourt, went scoreless on four field-goal attempts and finished with five rebounds.

The limited offensive production from San-en’s frontcourt was a major factor in Tokyo’s defensive success.

Davis and Van Tubbergen Lead San-en

Terrence Davis and Jake Van Tubbergen each scored 20 or more points for San-en, providing much of the visitors’ offense.

Davis finished with 20 points, seven rebounds and four assists, shooting 6-of-10 from three-point range.

Van Tubbergen added a team-high 21 points and eight rebounds, converting all six of his free-throw attempts.

Point guard Ryusei Sasaki contributed seven points and six assists, but San-en struggled to generate consistent scoring beyond its leading contributors.

The visitors shot 34.4 percent from three-point range and were unable to match Tokyo’s offensive production across the four quarters.

Tokyo Responds with a Complete Team Performance

After suffering a heavy defeat to Sendai in their previous game, Tokyo responded with a well-balanced effort at both ends of the floor.

The victory was built on contributions from multiple scoring options, Rossiter’s rebounding, and defensive pressure that restricted several of San-en’s key offensive players.

For Tokyo, the performance provided an encouraging response and reinforced the team’s ability to compete against leading opponents from the Western Conference.

For San-en, improving offensive balance and generating more production from its frontcourt will be important moving forward.
