The JT Thunders Hiroshima broke their own losing streak of three games by beating winless VC Nagano Tridents in five sets. Without the help of Australian Thomas Edgar but with a highlight in the form of the Chinese Taipei National Team member Chen Chien-Chen (27 points), the Thunders rejected rivals for which Indonesian Rivan Nurmulki exploded with 41 points.

The Toray Arrows prolonged their series of wins to four with the huge performance of Hungarian Krisztián Pádár, who tallied 40 points (4 blocks).
