Toyota Motors showed no mercy around powerful defensive schemes from the beginning and went on to crush the Toshiba Brave Thunders 86-58 in the semifinals of the All-Japan Basketball Championships (Emperor's Cup) at Tokyo's Yoyogi National Gymnasium Annex on Saturday.
The highlight of the contest came in the first, when the Alvark held the Brave Thunders to just nine points, while they had 27.
