By their own high standards, the Tochigi Brex got off to a bit of a slow start in Sunday's series finale against the Sunrockers Shibuya.

But coach Ryuzo Anzai's title-chasing club seemed to flip a switch in the second quarter, transforming a close game into a rout.

Fueled by relentless defensive pressure, the Brex cruised to a 99-65 victory at Aoyama Gakuin University Memorial Hall. They improved to 42-16 in the regular season's penultimate weekend.
