Despite his team not having home-court advantage throughout the upcoming postseason, Kawasaki Brave Thunders star center Nick Fazekas says his team is confident and ¡°the team to beat¡± in the Eastern Conference.
Fazekas¡¯ statements may have merit. The team ended the regular season on a high note with a seven-game winning streak. During that stretch, the Brave Thunders swept a trio of powerhouse clubs ¡ª the Chiba Jets, Utsunomiya Brex and Sunrockers Shibuya.
Yet despite the late-season run, Kawasaki finished third in the conference with a 43-16 record and will face the Osaka Evessa starting Saturday in a best-of-three quarterfinal round.
