For another year, the JX-Eneos Sunflowers finished the season on top.

The Sunflowers wrapped up the best-of-five WJBL Finals with a 75-66 win in Game 4 at Tokyo's Yoyogi National Gymnasium No. 2 and captured the league title for the eighth consecutive year.

The "eight-peat" is the second-longest streak in WJBL history, only behind the 10 straight championships won by the Chanson V-Magic (1990-91 season through 1999-2000).
