The Filipino import Nagoya with his squad Diamond Dolphins laddered their score to a 3-3 win-loss record after defeating Toyama twice.

He registered 15 points and five rebounds on their first encounter and tallied a game-high 17 points, seven rebounds, four steals, and two assists this time around.

“I appreciate coach Shaun for allowing me to play and my teammates for trusting me and believing in me. We got the job done today, and hopefully, we can continue to grow and build,” Parks said during the post-game interview.

Moreover, Nagoya stormed to a 25 points deficit, thanks to Scott Eatherton’s 15 points, seven rebounds, and two assists, as well as Coty Clarke’s 14 points, six chip shots, three steals, and four assists.

With a score of 43-38 in the first half, Toyama tried to make up for the gap led by the former TNT import Joshua Smith led the Grouses with 13 points and six rebounds, while Julian Mavunga chipped in with 11 points, seven assists, and four rebounds despite committing seven turnovers.

Ramos, on the other hand, grabbed seven rebounds and dished out three assists for a total of six points on 3-of-14 shooting.

However, with combined forces of big man’s Grouses, it was not enough to bring down the Dolphins as the squad chose aggressiveness and ran the deficit from 5 points to 30 points, 95-65 in the last quarter.
