The Brave Thunders maintained a 20-plus point lead in the final 10 minutes of the game.

Kawasaki went up to 36-13 to maintain its half-game lead over Utsunomiya for fourth in the east while dropping Niigata to 5-40.

Nick Fazekas led five Brave Thunder in double-digits with 21 points, eight rebounds, four assists, and two steals.

The trio of Matt Janning, Yuma Fujii, and Naoya Kumagae got 13 points apiece with Janning also dishing out nine assists. Pablo Aguilar got 11 points and nine rebounds as well.
