Come the third canto, Aomori was held down to just nine field goal attempts, converting three, while going 2-of-3 from the charity stripe while being forced to commit seven turnovers.
They were behind 23-51 entering the final frame.
Aomori suffered its sixth straight loss to fall to 2-22. Saga rose to 12-12.
