There's no secret about the Kawasaki Brave Thunders' recipe for success.
It all starts with Nick Fazekas.
The ex-NBA big man delivered a splendid 36-point, 11-rebound performance to guide Kawasaki past the Niigata Albirex BB on Saturday. Fazekas made 13 of 18 shots from the field, and he went 8-for-8 at the free-throw line in the Brave Thunders' 95-79 triumph over Niigata.
