After a down-to-the-wire overtime loss on Saturday night, the Ryukyu Golden Kings maintained their poise down the stretch in Sunday's intense duel with the Sunrockers Shibuya.
The Golden Kings eked out a 76-74 victory at Aoyama Gakuin University Memorial Hall, earning a series split with former Ryukyu coach Tsutomu Isa's club.
Center Jack Cooley scored a go-ahead layup — courtesy of a nice pass into the low post from Narito Namizato — with 33 seconds left to put the Golden Kings ahead 74-72.
