Tactical Breakdown

Koshigaya’s game plan centered on spreading the floor and attacking Mikawa’s weak side defense. Their motion offense created open looks consistently, and they converted at a 52% clip overall. Defensively, the Alphas packed the paint and forced the SeaHorses into difficult mid-range jumpers, limiting second-chance opportunities. Mikawa’s inability to defend the three-point line—Koshigaya made 16-of-35 from deep—was the primary factor in their downfall. The Alphas also controlled the boards 40-28, denying Mikawa’s usual rebounding advantage.

Season and Playoff Implications
