Eight teams remain in the hunt for the 11th and final bj-league title.

Of the eight who survived the opening round, two teams — the Ryukyu Golden Kings and Osaka Evessa — both have a shot at winning a record fourth championship later this month.

The Nos. 1 and 2 seeds in both conferences are two wins away from reaching the Final Four, which is set for May 14-15 at Ariake Colosseum.
