Taizo Kawabe came off the bench and scored a season-high 22 points on Saturday, leading the Kyoto Hannaryz to an 82-67 victory over the host Rizing Fukuoka.
Kawabe buried 4 of 6 3-point shots and converted all five of his attempts from inside the arc in 28 electrifying minutes.
The Hannaryz (34-17) are tied with the Osaka Evessa for the second-best record in the Western Conference entering the final day of the bj-league's seventh season.
