The Osaka Evessa's roller-coaster season has had two extremes: a long winning streak and a long losing streak.
First-year Osaka head coach Shunsuke Todo's team suffered its sixth straight defeat on Sunday, losing 82-72 to the host Kyoto Hannaryz.
Former Evessa star David Palmer scored a game-high 32 points on 11-for-18 shooting for the Hannaryz (8-4) and Edwin Ubiles, who has suited up for the Washington Wizards, added 15 points. Joe Werner finished with 13 point and eight rebounds and Hayato Kantake scored 10 points in Muko, Kyoto Prefecture.
