The Nagoya Diamond Dolphins responded emphatically with a 72-49 rout of the Kyoto Hannaryz on November 12, 2025. This B1 League result was a defensive clinic put on by Nagoya, who held Kyoto to a season-low 49 points in a commanding 23-point home victory. After a loss days prior, the Diamond Dolphins came out with tremendous energy, shutting down every aspect of the Hannaryz offense from the opening tip. Kyoto simply could not buy a basket, as Nagoya's defensive pressure led to forced shots and turnovers. The 72-49 final score is one of the most lopsided of the season and serves as a major statement from the Diamond Dolphins. This victory dramatically improves their points differential and re-establishes them as a defensive powerhouse in the league. Nagoya's coach would have been delighted with his team's focus and response to adversity, while Kyoto's staff faced a long film session after an offensive performance to forget.
