"Good evening!
First, I think it was very good that we were able to play the fast-paced basketball we aim for.
Also, setting the tone with our defense at the beginning of the 3rd quarter led to today's game result.
Thank you for always coming to our home games.
We are truly grateful for the great atmosphere you provide, so please come again tomorrow!
Thank you!"

"Although it was held in Hiratsuka (unlike our usual Yokohama Budo-kan, etc.), thank you very much for coming.
Ideally, the standings would have been determined earlier so that everyone could buy tickets for the 'Resona Group B2 PLAYOFFS 2025-26' home games, but unfortunately, it will be held away.
Furthermore, since the opponent for the away game has not been decided, I believe it's not possible to buy tickets yet.
After tomorrow's game, the opponent will be decided.
