Sunday's game provided ample evidence of the growth and potential of the Sunrockers Shibuya under Tsutomu Isa, who became head coach in October 2018 after the team opened last season with a 1-7 record.

In a rare display of an entire team producing offensive numbers in the first half — all 12 dressed players recorded a point or an assist (or both) — the Sunrockers steamrolled past the Nagoya Diamond Dolphins 96-77 in their final game of the year. Now, they take a promising outlook into the 2020 portion of their schedule.

It all starts with Isa's steady, capable leadership.
