Utsunomiya, Tochigi Prefecture ¨C The Utsunomiya Brex made sure to remind everyone that they are the best team in the league this season with a sweep of the Kawasaki Brave Thunders in the B. League playoff semifinals this past weekend.
Even though the Brex posted the B1¡¯s top winning percentage (.817) after going 49-11, they entered the best-of-three home series as the challengers in a sense. The Brex were just 1-3 versus the Brave Thunders during the regular season and also lost their matchup in the Emperor¡¯s Cup final in March.
In the postseason, however, the Brex responded better than many thought they would against Kawasaki, which had been viewed as a title contender since late in the season.
