Every team wants big-time production from its big man.

That's what the Sendai 89ers received on Saturday in a pulse-rising 66-64 victory over the two-time defending champion Hamamatsu Higashimikawa Phoenix.

Rashaad Singleton, a 211-cm center, scored a season-high 25 points, hauled in 12 rebounds and blocked six shots in a big victory for the hosts.
