TOKOROZAWA, Saitama Pref. — Fast and furious after a woeful game-opening stretch, the Saitama Broncos put their footprint on the game in a hurry over the next three-plus quarters.
The final score — Saitama 109, Toyama Grouses 91 — didn't indicate how dominating coach David Benoit's club played for the majority of the game, starting after it found itself facing a 15-2 deficit at Tokorozawa Municipal Gymnasium.
Consider: The Broncos (19-27) outscored Toyama 53-24 over the middle two quarters.
