Nate Menefee hit seven three pointers and scored 28 points, dished out eight assists and pulled down seven rebounds to lead the Olympia Reign to their fourth win of the season by beating the Nippon Tornadoes 132-109. Marcus Whitaker and Mike Ward scored 21 and 20 points respectively for the Reign and Giovanne Woods added another 13 points, 12 assists and seven boards. Brandon Adams, in his second game with the Reign, scored 16 points and had a team high 11 rebounds.

The Nippon Tornadoes were without the services of Jordan Mast and his 29.4 points and 13.2 points per game so Joe Wolfinger made up the difference by scoring 41 points and grabbing a ridiculous 35 rebounds, 26 of which were offensive.
