With scorching heat enveloping Tokyo last week, the Basketball Without Borders Asia Camp provided heated competition inside the air-conditioned facilities at Mizumoto General Sports Center.
For four days, the NBA and FIBA joint operation staged a testing ground for 64 top-level boys and girls players ages 16 and 17 from the Asia-Pacific Region. Intense, high-energy five-on-five games were held each day.
The 11th edition of the BWB Asia Camp wrapped up Saturday afternoon, with a pair of All-Star games, boys and girls 3-point contests and championship tilts in each division. Teams had WNBA names in the girls division and NBA names in the boys division, with the New York Liberty and Orlando Magic, respectively, capturing titles over the Los Angeles Sparks and Minnesota Timberwolves.
