Aggressive play doesn't necessarily show up in the statistics.
Many times, a team that attempts more free throws is the aggressor. Other times, the numbers don't reveal this key aspect of a team's performance.
On Sunday, however, this much was evident: From start to finish, the Saitama Broncos were the more aggressive team. That physical toughness and mental mind-set produced a 90-76 win for first-year coach Dean Murray's club over the expansion Yokohama B-Corsairs at Saitama Municipal Gymnasium.
