    BOBBY Ray Parks completed a four-point play that put Nagoya in control in the fourth on the way to a 81-76 victory over Shinshu on Sunday in the Japan B.League at Dolphins' Arena.

    The Filipino guard only had six points, but his four-point play gave Nagoya a 76-68 lead with 4:15 remaining before holding off Shinshu late.

    Parks also collected three rebounds, one assist, and one block off the bench to help the Diamond Dolphins take their third consecutive win and climb up to 24-10.

    Coty Clarke spearheaded the rally with 18 points, eight boards, and three steals, Tenketsu Harimoto produced 16 points and five rebounds off the bench, and new recruit Ovie Soko also had 15 for Nagoya.

    Shinshu leaned on Ko Kumagai and Wayne Marshall, both of whom scored 18 points in the defeat.

    Matthew Aquino went scoreless in four minutes and 49 seconds of play but grabbed a solitary rebound in the loss as the Brave Warriors were sent to their third straight loss and sunk to a 19-22 card.

    Nagoya aims to stretch this run against SeaHorses Mikawa at home still at the same venue, while Shinshu heads back home to host the Toyama Grouses at White Ring Arena, both set this Wednesday.
