Second half, we did a much better job taking care of such things, and we finished possessions very well,&quot; he added.The Nagoya lead ballooned to double-digits with six minutes to go in the third frame, when Coty Clarke drilled a triple. In the next possession, Parks stole the ball off Ramos, leading to a Clarke slam dunk.Nagoya showed no let-up from there, and their lead grew to 30 points with three minutes to go off two charities by Scott Eatherton.&quot;We&#x27;re starting to play the type of basketball we want to play,&quot; Dennis said of his team, which improved to 3-3 to reach the .500 mark early in the season.Clarke finished with 14 points, and Eatherton had 15 points and seven boards.The Grouses, a team that reached the playoffs last year, fell to 0-6.American center Josh Smith led Toyama with 13 points and six rebounds in 22 minutes, while Julian Mavunga netted 11 points on 4-of-13 shooting, while committing seven of their team&#x27;s 19 turnovers in the game.Toyama guns for its first victory next weekend against the Ryukyu Golden Kings at home, while Parks and Nagoya host Kiefer Ravena and the Shiga Lakestar, also next weekend.
