The Kyoto Hannaryz had lost four of their previous five games entering this weekend's series against the Takamatsu Five Arrows, including a pair of lopsided defeats to the Hamamatsu Higashimikawa Phoenix last week.
Led by veteran sharpshooter Naoto Nakamura's season-high 24-point performance, Kyoto bounced back with a comprehensive 103-71 win over the Five Arrows on Saturday in the bj-league.
Nakamura, whose previous season high was 12 points, canned 5 of 10 3-point shots and helped the Hannaryz improve to 5-8.
