The Kawasaki Brave Thunders came up with a pair of steals in the final 42 seconds to seal an 85-83 victory over the Sunrockers Shibuya on Friday night.

In their B. League series opener at Todoroki Arena, Kawasaki's Ryusei Shinoyama drained the go-ahead shot, an outside jumper, with 54 seconds left. Naoto Tsuji registered an assist on the play.

That put the Brave Thunders in front by two points.
