Facing two Western Conference powerhouses in the past two weeks, the Tokyo Apache had an opportunity to make a bold statement in that span: to send a message to the rest of the bj-league that they are a force to be reckoned with this season.
That message was delivered loud and clear.
The Apache defeated the Ryukyu Golden Kings 86-80 on Sunday to earn a two-game sweep at Ariake Colosseum, including a one-point overtime triumph on Saturday.
