Terrence Woodyard's valiant effort carried the Saitama Broncos to their first victory of the season on Sunday.

The veteran forward scored 21 points, grabbed 16 rebounds and blocked five shots in Saitama's 76-63 triumph over the host Toyama Grouses.

Saitama (1-7) played an aggressive, hard-nosed brand of basketball on Sunday. And this helped, too: The Broncos shot 21 free throws (13 makes) compared to Toyama's 3-for-5 effort at the line.
