B.League: Kai Sotto puts up solid line as Hiroshima completes sweep of Ibaraki


Kai Sotto is proving to be a force in the B.League.

The 7-foot-3 Filipino sensation had another solid outing for Hiroshima, helping the Dragonflies rack up an 87-83 victory over Ibaraki, Sunday at Adastria Mito Arena.

The former Adelaide 36er filled up the stat sheet with 14 points, nine boards, three assists, and two blocks, helping Hiroshima rise to a 31-11 record.

Kerry Blackshear led the Dragonflies with 22 points and five rebounds, while Dwayne Evans added 15. Isaiah Murphy also finished with 14 markers.
