YOKOHAMA, Japan — October 26, 2026 — The Hiroshima Dragonflies returned to winning ways with a commanding 90–64 victory over the Yokohama B-Corsairs at Yokohama BUNTAI on Monday night in the B.LEAGUE PREMIER.

Led by a powerful performance from center Kofi Cockburn, Hiroshima took control in the second quarter and maintained its advantage throughout the second half.

Yokohama remained within striking distance in the opening quarter, trailing just 24–21. However, the Dragonflies seized control in the second period, outscoring the hosts 26–11 to establish a commanding 50–32 halftime lead.

Hiroshima continued to dictate the pace after the break, extending its advantage to 71–48 by the end of the third quarter before closing out the game with a 19–16 fourth period.

Cockburn dominated the paint, finishing with a game-high 23 points and 10 rebounds, including six offensive boards. He converted nine of his 14 field-goal attempts and made all five of his free throws.

Ryosei Sato added 14 points and six assists, while Christopher Smith also contributed 14 points. Dwayne Evans delivered an all-around performance with 13 points, six rebounds, and four steals.

For Yokohama, James Bell led the scoring with 15 points off the bench, shooting 6-of-9 from the field and 3-of-6 from three-point range. Isaiah Reaves added 14 points, while Takuma Sato contributed 12.

The decisive difference came in the paint. Hiroshima converted 31 of 46 two-point attempts, shooting 67.4 percent, while outrebounding Yokohama 39–26.

Despite shooting just 20.0 percent from beyond the arc, the Dragonflies compensated with highly efficient interior scoring and a significant rebounding advantage.

Yokohama connected on 10 three-pointers at a 37.0 percent rate but struggled to generate enough offense inside, finishing with 16 turnovers and only four free-throw attempts.

The victory marked a convincing response for Hiroshima following its first loss of the season against Levanga Hokkaido. For Yokohama, the defeat extended its losing streak to four games.
