The Ryukyu Golden Kings are gearing up for a run at another title. The Tokyo Cinq Reves are closing out their inaugural season.
Teams with vastly different agendas kept things close for the opening 10 minutes on Sunday in their bj-league series finale at Ota City Gymnasium.
And then the Golden Kings displayed their championship pedigree — relentless defense, a terrific transition offense, pinpoint passes, timely steals — and turned the contest into a laugher, winning 97-60.
