The Toyota Motors Alvark have clearly been the biggest story during the second half of the NBL's 2013-14 season. This, of course, included Toyota's impressive 28-game winning streak.
On Friday night, the Toshiba Brave Thunders grabbed the spotlight from their Eastern Conference rivals and ended their epic winning streak. The Brave Thunders rebounded from a deficit that was as many as 12 points and came through defensively in the final quarter in a 80-74 victory over Toyota at Todoroki Arena.
Toshiba (46-7) has now clinched first place in the conference, earning a first-round bye in the playoffs, with one more game to play in the regular season.
