The Tochigi Brex were locked in at both ends of the court on Friday night.
The Brex offense fired on all cylinders in Game 1 of their B. League Championship quarterfinal series against the Kawasaki Brave Thunders. Coach Ryuzo Anzai's club buried 10 of 21 3-pointers to ignite its scoring.
The Brex defense limited Kawasaki to 37.7 percent shooting from the field and forced 12 turnovers.
