Veteran standouts John "Helicopter" Humphrey and Nick Davis gave the Tokyo Apache a big spark in their return to the lineup and forward Dameion Baker, who has had two previous stints on the team, made his season debut in a 96-72 rout of the visiting Toyama Grouses.
Tokyo (19-12) snapped a four-game losing streak.
Cohey Aoki scored a team-best 20 points for the Apache, while Baker had 19 and nine boards. Frontcourt mate Julius Ashby also put 18 points on the board and cleaned the glass for 10 rebounds.
