There are only two games in the books, but Fukushima Firebonds rookie forward Le'Bryan Nash is off to a terrific start. Over the weekend, he delivered two big, bold performances, showing what he's capable of doing during the 52-game season.
A day after putting 31 points on the board at Yokohama Cultural Gymnasium, the Oklahoma State product topped himself with 37 points and 13 rebounds in the Firebonds' high-energy 85-54 shellacking of the Yokohama B-Corsairs.
The B-Corsairs opened their season under new head coach Taketo Aoki with a 96-88 overtime triumph on Saturday, a game in which Yokohama out-rebounded the out-of-towners 64-54.
