The Ryukyu Golden Kings put 70 points on the board after halftime on Saturday.
It was a stirring reminder that coach Dai Oketani's club is hungry to capture a second bj-league championship this season.
Buoyed by shooting guard Shigeyuki Kinjo's 25-point game and team leader Jeff Newton's 22 points, the Golden Kings cruised past the Shiga Lakestars 105-82 in Naha.
