After almost eight months of competition since the start of the B. League’s 2020-21 campaign, the last two teams standing, the Utsunomiya Brex and Chiba Jets Funabashi will square off in the B. League Finals, which begin Saturday.
The matchup features the two top teams from the regular season. Utsunomiya led the league with an .817 winning percentage while the Jets were second at .754.
It’s a worthy matchup for the league’s first championship series. This year’s title will be decided in a best-of-three series, whereas previous finals were played as a single game.
