Finally, they've done it.
Point guard Ryuzo Anzai knocked down a tie-breaking 3-pointer with 1:07 left, and Enoch Davis sank an insurance shot with 33 seconds remaining in the final quarter as the Saitama Broncos grabbed their first victory of the season with a 70-63 win over the Niigata Albirex in their home opener at Saitama Municipal Gymnasium on Saturday afternoon.
Saitama played with initiative throughout the game. It had an 11-point lead at the half. But Niigata again showed its persevering play as it did in the first games of the season against the Tokyo Apache last weekend, catching up with the Broncos late in the third quarter with a Nick Davis layup to tie the contest at 51.
