Sharp-shooter Keijuro Matsui nailed four 3-point shots and scored 18 points in the second quarter alone to boost the Japan men's team to a 75-61 victory over the Czech Republic on Sunday at Yoyogi National Gymnasium Annex.
Team Japan wrapped up the three-game exhibition series against the Europeans with a 2-1 record, winning the last two games.
"We entered the game trying to continue our defensive hard work from yesterday," Japan coach Kenji Hasegawa said after the game. "We wanted to build self-confidence by continuing to do that, and I think we were able to achieve that."
