FUNABASHI, CHIBA PREF. ¨C On a star-studded roster, Chiba Jets Funabashi shooting guard Shigehiro Taguchi can be overlooked at times.
That wasn¡¯t possible on Sunday, though. Taguchi captured the attention of fans and put his stamp on the final outcome with a game-changing performance.
The veteran perimeter sniper delivered a bold reminder of his skills in the series finale against the Kyoto Hannaryz. He scored a season-best 16 points, nailed 4 of 5 3-point range and two clutch free throws in crunch time as the Jets rallied for a pulse-rising 87-84 victory before a packed house of 5,551.
