Former Stanford University and NBA forward Josh Childress delivered a big boost for the San-en NeoPhoenix on Saturday against the visiting Nagoya Diamond Dolphins.
Childress' productive game — 34 points, 10 rebounds and two blocks in nearly 28 minutes — helped steer the NeoPhoenix to a 93-88 victory in Toyohashi, Aichi Prefecture.
Olu Ashaolu also made a big impact on offense, scoring 22 points on 9-for-11 shooting for San-en (24-16). Atsuya Ota and Shingo Okada scored 10 points apiece and playmaker Tatsuya Suzuki threaded the needle at the point, handing out nine assists.
