The Miyazaki Shining Suns have endured a miserable start to the 2012-13 season.
After a victory in their first game against the Shiga Lakestars on Oct. 13, Miyazaki lost its next 12 games, and most of them were blowouts.
Coach Junichiro Hongo's club snapped its dreadful losing streak on Sunday, beating the Oita HeatDevils 86-75 in Saeki, Oita Prefecture.
