Once again, the Toyota Alvark encountered a fearless challenge from the Link Tochigi Brex. But the Alvark displayed better composure and the knack for winning a big game.
The Alvark defense prevailed in the second half, holding the Brex to just 20 points as Toyota crushed Tochigi 74-59 in the decisive third game of the NBL Eastern Conference semifinal series at Ota City General Gymnasium on Monday.
Toyota will face the Toshiba Brave Thunders in the conference finals this weekend at Yoyogi National Gymnasium No. 2.
