The Kyoto Hannaryz stunned the host Ryukyu Golden Kings in Game 1 of their Western Conference semifinal series on Saturday afternoon.

The Hannaryz's 82-57 victory represents a big departure from their 0-4 record during the bj-league regular season against the Golden Kings.

Game 2 is scheduled for 1 p.m. on Sunday in Ginowan, Okinawa Prefecture. If Ryukyu, the reigning champion, bounces back with a victory, a 10-minute mini-tiebreaker game will be held after a 25-minute break to shatter the deadlock and determine which team will move on to the Final Four next weekend at Ariake Colosseum in Tokyo.
