As the regular season winds down, the Nagoya Diamond Dolphins are trying to secure one of the final playoff spots, possibly the eighth and final berth.
They moved a step closer to making that goal a reality on Saturday, hammering the visiting Osaka Evessa 73-49.
With their third consecutive win, the Diamond Dolphins (29-28) kept themselves in the postseason hunt. They are vying with the Kyoto Hannaryz, SeaHorses Mikawa and Toyama Grouses to punch tickets to the playoffs.
