Roosevelt Adams and the Yamagata Wyverns were able to tally their sixth victory in the 2024-25 season of the Japan B.League.

Yamagata won its second straight game after they defeated the Kumamoto Volters, 100-84, in their Sunday game at the Yamagata City General Center.

Adams appeared for 17:41 minutes, and he finished with seven points and two rebounds to help the Wyverns improve to 6-9 in the team standings.

Pacing the Wyverns, once again, was James Bell, as he posted 19 points with one rebound and one assist.

This came less than 24 hours after their 85-80 win over the same team at the same venue.

Following this set of triumphs, the Wyverns now sit in sixth place in the Eastern Division.

On the other hand, Geo Chiu and the Ehime Orange Vikings faltered against the Kobe Storks anew.

Ehime was dominated by Kobe, 100-84, at the Kobe City Central Gymnasium, just a day after they were defeated by the same team, 92-77.

The former Ateneo de Manila University center was limited to only 8:17 of gameplay, where he put up two points and two rebounds.

For the Storks, Chaundee Brown Jr. starred with an all-around performance of 24 markers, six boards, six dimes, two steals, and a rejection.

Following these losses, Kobe fell to 1-14 in the team standings, and they now sit in seventh place in the Western Division.
