Like teammate Cohey Aoki did in Saturday¡¯s series opener, Rizing Fukuoka star Josh Peppers carried his team on the offensive end on Sunday afternoon.
Peppers poured in 33 points (three more than Aoki had a day earlier) and added 19 points and 10 rebounds to complete the triple-double in a 105-82 victory over the visiting Bambitious Nara.
Cyrus Tate and Aoki scored 15 points apiece and John ¡°Helicopter¡± Humphrey finished with 14 as the Rizing (10-28) won their third straight game under bench boss Joe ¡°Jellybean¡± Bryant. Kirk Van Slyke and Hajime Ono each scored nine points, with Ono collecting four steals.
