Perhaps the biggest compliment a team can receive after a game was uttered on Sunday afternoon.
Toyama Grouses bench boss Don Beck called the Alvark Tokyo "the best-conditioned team" in the B. League.
Those words were spoken after an impressive performance: The defending champion Alvark's tenacious defense and fast-paced offense showcased their tip-top physical fitness in an 87-73 triumph over the visiting Grouses at Arena Tachikawa Tachihi.
