Mitsubishi forward/center Magnum Rolle scored a game-high 29 points to lead the Diamond Dolphins to a 75-67 victory over the Toshiba Brave Thunders in the men's quarterfinals of the annual All-Japan Basketball Championship at Yoyogi National Gymnasium on Sunday evening.
Guided by the 211-cm player Rolle, the Dolphins seized the momentum for much of the game, building a 59-44 lead at the end of the third quarter.
Toshiba began its rally and pulled to within two points with 45 seconds remaining in the final period. But soon after, Mitsubishi point guard Kei Igarashi nailed a big 3-pointer and the team grabbed the win.
