In a dazzling treat for basketball fans, the Chiba Jets Funabashi made a few more key plays down the stretch to seal an entertaining victory over the Nagoya Diamond Dolphins on Sunday.
The Jets' 88-85 Christmas Eve matinee triumph had a little bit of everything.
There was the in-the-post excellence of power forward Gavin Edwards (28 points on 12-for-15 shooting). His footwork shot-making skills, including hook shots and three powerful dunks, provided a bold reminder of the way a quality post player can impact a game. The UConn alum is fourth in the B. League top flight in scoring (17.2 points per game).
