Aomiri dropped their second straight game in the league with a one-sided defeat to the conference leaders. They had a chance against Nara last week but couldn’t hold the nerves. The visitors didn’t cross 18 points in any quarter and conceded a game-high 28-point lead. Shinshu never trailed in the game. The Watts lost nine of the last 12 games in the B2 League. They are sitting at the sixth spot of the Eastern Conference with a 10-35 record. They are out for the playoffs for the second straight season.

Only two players reached double figures for Aomiri. Max Hisatake was the top scorer with 21 points and 11 rebounds, while Tim Dalger went for 20 points and 7 rebounds. He could be an offensive threat on Sunday. The 25-year-old averaged 12.2 points in the regular season. We back him to score 15 points in the road game against Shinshu. Aomiri need to see some power from the bench players. It’s been a long time to see a bench player contributing big.
