Sitting in last place after a blowout loss to the Hamamatsu Higashimikawa Phoenix on Nov. 15, the Niigata Albirex BB regrouped during a three-week layoff and have rattled off five straight victories.
The latest win, an 84-74 road triumph over the Takamatsu Five Arrows, came courtesy of a well-balanced offensive attack.
Antonio Burks scored 22 points and Tyrone Levett and Akitomo Takeno had 16 apiece.
