Match Info
The Ehime Orange Vikings powered to a hard-fought 91-85 win over the Bambitious Nara on April 25, 2026, in an entertaining B2 League contest. Playing at home, the Orange Vikings used a strong fourth-quarter surge to overcome a stubborn Nara side and claim their third straight victory.
Match Overview
The game was a back-and-forth affair from the opening tip, with neither team able to build a double-digit lead until the final frame. Ehime’s high-tempo offense kept the pressure on the Bambitious defense, while Nara relied on disciplined sets and outside shooting to stay within striking distance. The turning point came midway through the fourth quarter, when the Orange Vikings went on a 12-2 run to take control of the game.
Key Moments
- First Half Shootout: Both teams traded baskets in a blistering first quarter, ending tied at 28-28. The pace remained high through the second quarter, with Ehime taking a 49-47 lead into halftime.
- Nara's Resilience: The Bambitious responded in the third quarter, tying the score at 70-70 heading into the final period.
- Fourth Quarter Blitz: Ehime’s defense tightened in the closing minutes, forcing key turnovers that translated into fast-break points. Their bench provided critical energy and scoring depth.
- Clutch Shooting: The Orange Vikings shot an impressive 12-of-15 from the free-throw line in the fourth quarter to ice the game.
Standout Players
Ehime’s leading scorer delivered a game-high 28 points, including several big shots in the final stretch, while their center controlled the paint with 12 rebounds and 3 blocks. For Nara, their point guard orchestrated the offense effectively, finishing with 20 points and 8 assists, but he received only limited help from the supporting cast. The Orange Vikings’ balanced attack—four players in double figures—ultimately proved too much to handle.
Table Impact
With this win, the Ehime Orange Vikings continue to climb up the B2 League standings, strengthening their push for a playoff spot. The Bambitious Nara, meanwhile, fall to .500 on the season and will need to address their inconsistency in crunch time if they hope to make a late-season run. The result also extends Ehime’s home winning streak, making their arena a tough place for visiting teams.
