The Akita Northern Happinets erupted for 62 second-half points against the Saitama Broncos on Sunday.

They turned a seven-point halftime deficit into an afterthought, clobbering the Broncos 102-87 for their 12th straight victory.

Eastern Conference-leading Akita (24-4 overall, 15-1 on the road) dropped two straight home games on Nov. 22-23 against the bj-league's reigning champion Ryukyu Golden Kings. Before that, first-year coach Makoto Hasegawa's club rattled off 11 wins in a row.
