They dominated on the defensive end, holding Wakayama T. to just 4 points in first quarter. Toshiba Thunders looked well-organized offensively handing out 23 assists. It was a great evening for American forward Nick Fazekas (211-85, college: Nevada) who led his team to a victory with a double-double by scoring 25 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 blocks. International swingman Naoto Tsuji (185-89) helped adding 20 points. Toshiba Thunders' coach Takuya Kita used entire bench which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games.
