The Alvark Tokyo are firing on all cylinders as the B. League's inaugural season reaches its midway point.

Long before the pause in the season for the ongoing All-Japan Championship and next weekend's All-Star Game, the Alvark (22-5) staked their claim as one of the elite clubs in the 18-team circuit.

In fact, only the Central Division-leading Kawasaki Brave Thunders (25-4) have more victories than the Alvark.
