B. League champions in the first two seasons of the upstart circuit¡¯s existence, the Tochigi Brex and Alvark Tokyo, have a fierce rivalry and display immense pride whenever they step onto the basketball court.

In Sunday¡¯s series finale, the Brex made decisive plays down the stretch and the Alvark squandered a few key chances to win the game, resulting in a 63-62 Brex victory which gave the visitors a bounce-back win after getting thrashed (79-62) in Saturday¡¯s opener at Komazawa Olympic Park Gymnasium.
