It only got worse from there. Kumamoto was able to extend the lead to 83-39 at the end of the third canto while leading by as much as 61 points, 106-45, with 3:50 remaining in the game.
Kumamoto went up to 18-12 in the standings. Hamilton led the way with 24 points, 10 assists, and eight rebounds.
Takaaki Kida got 18 points, going 4-of-4 from downtown. Meanwhile, Benjamin Lawson, Samba Faye, and LJ Peak all finished with 16 points apiece. Lawson also grabbed 10 rebounds.
Lakeem Jackson was the sole double-digit scorer for Aomori with 11 points as Renaldo Dixon only put up eight points and five rebounds.
