The Hitachi Sunrockers snapped an epic winning streak by the Toyota Alvark.

More importantly, they've got another game to play on Monday, and that was all that mattered to them.

League MVP and center Josh Heytvelt had 27 points and 10 rebounds and forward Aki Chambers sank some key outside shots en route to 17 points to help the Sunrockers tie the best-of-three NBL playoff semifinal series at one game apiece with a 73-67 win over the Alvark at Ota City General Gymnasium on Sunday.
