MANILA, Philippines – Jason Brickman and the Kaohsiung Aquas tightened their grip on the top spot in the T1 League in Taiwan with a 116-82 road rout of the Taoyuan Leopards at the Chung Yuan University Gymnasium on Saturday, January 15.
Brickman delivered 17 points, 9 assists, and 4 rebounds as the Aquas clinched their fifth straight win and hiked their league-best record to 9-1.
Kaohsiung led by just 7 points after the opening period before it pulled away in the middle quarters, where it outscored Taoyuan 60-38 to build a 29-point cushion going into the final salvo.

Three more Kaohsiung players breached double figures, including Yu Huan-Ya (13), Ferrakohn Hall (13), and Yu Chun-An (11).
It was an offensive masterclass from the Aquas, who shot a scintillating 58% from the field off 26 assists.
Coming off a 27-point outburst in their previous game, Filipino-American Caelan Tiongson was limited to just 6 points to go with 6 rebounds and 5 assists as the Leopards remained at the bottom of the standings with a 1-7 card.
