Cohey Aoki lifted the Tokyo Apache to a stirring victory over the three-time defending champions Osaka Evessa on Thursday.
The diminutive guard scored the biggest basket of the game, gliding through traffic past three defenders in a zigzag-like pattern and scoring the winning points with 0.5 seconds left in the game.
Tokyo defeated Osaka 91-90 before 3,123 fans at Yoyogi National Gymnasium.
