D.J. Hogg delivers 30 points on eight three-pointers as Tokyo dominates the glass 48–28 to claim a convincing victory over Hiroshima in a matchup between two of the B.LEAGUE PREMIER’s leading teams.

TOKYO, JAPAN — November 14, 2026 — Alvark Tokyo defeated the Hiroshima Dragonflies 99–83 at TOYOTA ARENA TOKYO on Saturday, powered by an outstanding shooting performance from D.J. Hogg and a commanding advantage in rebounding.

Hogg led all scorers with 30 points, connecting on eight of his 12 three-point attempts. Tokyo also received 14 points from Shuto Ando, while Kiyonte Johnson and Taiki Osakabe contributed 13 points each.

Hiroshima’s Dwayne Evans recorded a double-double with 27 points and 11 rebounds, but the visitors struggled to contain Tokyo’s perimeter shooting and second-chance opportunities.

Tokyo Establish Early Control

Tokyo made a strong start, outscoring Hiroshima 27–17 in the opening quarter to establish a 10-point advantage.

Hiroshima responded in the second period, winning the quarter 24–20 to reduce the deficit to 47–41 at halftime.

However, Tokyo regained control after the break.

The home team outscored Hiroshima 26–22 in the third quarter, extending its lead to 73–63 heading into the final period.

Tokyo maintained its offensive momentum in the fourth quarter, adding another 26 points while holding Hiroshima to 20, completing a 16-point victory.

Alvark maintained consistent offensive pressure throughout the contest, scoring at least 20 points in every quarter.

Hogg’s Eight Three-Pointers Lead the Way

Hogg delivered an exceptional shooting performance, finishing with 30 points in 29 minutes and 17 seconds.

He shot 10-of-16 from the field, including an impressive 8-of-12 from three-point range, converting 66.7% of his attempts from beyond the arc.

Hogg also recorded seven rebounds and four assists, finishing with a game-high efficiency rating of 35.

His performance was particularly significant against a Hiroshima team that entered the contest among the Western Conference’s leading sides.

Ando provided further perimeter support, scoring 14 points and making four three-pointers on nine attempts.

Osakabe added 13 points, five assists and four rebounds, while Johnson contributed 13 points, eight rebounds, four assists and four steals.

Tokyo’s balanced scoring helped ensure Hiroshima could not focus its defensive attention solely on Hogg.

Rossiter Anchors Tokyo’s Dominance on the Glass

Although Hogg’s shooting attracted attention, Tokyo’s overwhelming rebounding advantage was equally important.

The home team collected 48 rebounds compared with just 28 for Hiroshima.

Ryan Rossiter led Tokyo with 11 rebounds, including four offensive boards, while adding seven points and four assists.

Johnson contributed eight rebounds, and Hogg added seven.

Tokyo was particularly effective on the offensive glass, recording 19 offensive rebounds compared with Hiroshima’s five.

The 14-rebound advantage in offensive boards provided Tokyo with additional possessions and opportunities to maintain scoring pressure.

Despite Hiroshima shooting a slightly higher percentage from the field, Tokyo attempted 75 field goals compared with the visitors’ 61, highlighting the importance of its extra opportunities.

Evans Shines Despite Hiroshima Defeat

Hiroshima received an outstanding individual performance from Dwayne Evans.

The forward recorded 27 points and 11 rebounds, shooting 9-of-12 from the field and making seven of 10 free throws.

Christopher Smith added 18 points and four assists, shooting 6-of-10 from the field and making three three-pointers.

Nick Mayo contributed 10 points and six rebounds, while Kane Roberts scored eight points off the bench.

However, Hiroshima struggled to match Tokyo’s scoring depth and perimeter production.

The visitors made 11 three-pointers on 34.4% shooting, compared with Tokyo’s 21 successful three-pointers at 42.0%.

That 30-point difference in scoring from beyond the arc proved a major obstacle for Hiroshima.

Three-Point Shooting and Rebounding Decide the Contest

The statistics underline the two key factors behind Tokyo’s victory: perimeter shooting and rebounding.

Tokyo shot 46.7% from the field, slightly below Hiroshima’s 47.5%, but made 21 three-pointers compared with Hiroshima’s 11.

The home side also collected 20 more rebounds and generated significantly more opportunities through offensive rebounding.

Tokyo finished with 27 assists compared with Hiroshima’s 18, reflecting the home team’s effective ball movement and ability to create open shots.

While Hiroshima committed only five turnovers compared with Tokyo’s nine, that advantage was not enough to overcome the difference in rebounding and three-point scoring.

For Alvark Tokyo, the victory provided another demonstration of its offensive firepower against one of the league’s stronger opponents.

Hogg’s shooting, combined with contributions across the roster and a dominant performance on the boards, allowed Tokyo to control much of the contest.

For Hiroshima, Evans’ impressive individual performance was a positive, but the defeat exposed difficulties in containing perimeter shooting and securing defensive rebounds.
