Chiba Jets earn first home win of season with victory over Shimane Susanoo Magic

The Chiba Jets of the B.LEAGUE claimed their first win of the season at home. Against Shimane Susanoo Magic, Chiba Jets were led by Riku Segawa, who scored 21 points, and Yuta Watanabe, who scored 22 points, as they sealed the victory. It was the team's first home win of the season.

Segawa matched his career high with 21 points. His scoring as a guard showed his role in leading the team's offense. Watanabe also scored 22 points and made his presence felt on both offense and defense. The scoring of the two players was a major driving force behind the win.
