It took a miraculous comeback to end the Osaka Evessa's bj-league championship dynasty.
And the central figure in this epic conclusion was none other than Jeff Newton, a winner of three championship rings during his time with Osaka.
Newton scored a league-record 50 points, including 20 in the final quarter, as the Ryukyu Golden Kings earned a 93-87 triumph over Osaka in the Western Conference final on Saturday at Ariake Colosseum.
