There¡¯s no magic formula for the Rizing Fukuoka to swiftly climb in the Western Conference standings.
But first-year coach Tomohiro Moriyama¡¯s club has made steady progress in recent weeks. The Rizing improved to 10-14 on Sunday after a 71-66 victory over the visiting Aomori Wat¡¯s gave them a weekend split.
