One team's quest for a first title has ended. The other team's fight will continue next season.
The Yokohama B-Corsairs outplayed the Rizing Fukuoka in Sunday's bj-league championship game, controlling the tempo for larger stretches and making enough timely baskets to fill an instructional DVD on offensive skills for a 101-90 victory before 9,764 spectators at Ariake Colosseum.
And the first foreign head coach to capture a championship, Yokohama's Reggie Geary, brought the championship to a Kanto team for the first time in the league's eight-season history.
