Sometimes basic fundamentals prove to be the most crucial ingredients to a victory in pro sports.

Exhibit A: Saturday¡¯s Hamamatsu Higashimikawa Phoenix-Takamatsu Five Arrows game.

The score was tied 39-39 at halftime, and only one player, Takamatsu¡¯s B.J. Puckett reached 20 points (exactly) for the night.
