No team ever wants to be embarrassed on its home court.
After a 34-point loss on Saturday, the Saitama Broncos regrouped when it mattered most. They overcame a large fourth-quarter deficit and defeated the Niigata Albirex BB 94-89 in overtime at Tokorozawa Municipal Gymnasium.
Mario Jointer paced the Broncos with 27 points, with many of his important baskets coming in the fourth quarter and OT.
