Basketball purists want to see players pass the ball and get their teammates involved. They want to watch a game featuring more than one or two primary scorers per team.
Fans were treated to a well-played, entertaining bj-league game on Sunday between the Hamamatsu Higashimikawa Phoenix and the Niigata Albirex BB.
The high-powered Phoenix offense withstood a bold challenge from the visitors, however, in a 107-95 triumph for Kazuo Nakamura's first-place club.
