For the Sendai 89ers, unselfish team play has been a key to their success this season.

That characteristic was once again on display on Saturday in the 89ers' 100-78 home victory over the Toyama Grouses. With the win, coach Honoo Hamaguchi's bj-league club extended its winning streak to eight games.

Sendai had eight players with two or more assists, led by Kenichi Takahashi's four.
