Jordan Heath set the tone for the title-chasing Kawasaki Brave Thunders in the first quarter.
The Canisius (New York) College alum delivered a shooting clinic in the game's first 10 minutes against the visiting Ryukyu Golden Kings. He had 15 points on 6-for-6 shooting, including 3 of 3 from 3-point range.
Sparked by a 10-0 run, Kawasaki jumped out to a 14-point lead entering the second quarter and never trailed in a 98-75 triumph.
