Ten games represent nearly one-fifth of the bj-league season. It's a significant chunk of games, and at this stage of the season a fair measuring stick of a team's title potential.
Take the Hamamatsu Higashimikawa Phoenix, Sendai 89ers and Osaka Evessa. All three clubs chalked up eight wins in their past 10 games.
As any coach will tell you, an .800 winning percentage is always a good sign.
