A simple strategy proved to be the right one for the Akita Northern Happinets on Saturday.
They kept feeding the ball to shooting guard Shigehiro Taguchi, and he kept taking ¡ª and making ¡ª shots.
Taguchi scored a game-high and season-high 30 points on 11-for-18 shooting, including 4-for-6 from 3-point range, in 25 electrifying minutes and the Happinets hammered the visiting Tokyo Cinq Reves 87-58 in their bj-league series opener.
