While playing in their 47th regular-season game on Friday night in Moriguchi, Osaka Prefecture, two bj-league teams shared several other similarities. Until the final second of the 40-minute game.
In a game tied after both the first and second quarter, the Takamatsu Five Arrows held one key statistic when it was over — they converted two more free throws — and pulled out a 76-74 victory over the Osaka Evessa. Dexter Lyons drained a late game-winning shot for the Five Arrows.
"Only nine points, but the game winner felt great," Lyons told The Japan Times.
