TOKOROZAWA, Saitama Pref. — Solid shooting and effective passing made a big difference for the Saitama Broncos in their final game of 2010.
Led by starting forward Gordon Klaiber's game-high 22 points and backup center Bruce Brown's 20, the Broncos rolled to an 88-70 victory over the Tokyo Apache on Sunday at Tokorozawa Municipal Gymnasium.
The Broncos, who return to the court on Jan. 8 against the host Takamatsu Five Arrows, have won a season-best three straight games. They improved to 7-15, moved out of last place in the bj-league's Eastern Conference and dished out 27 assists on 32 field goals.
