After clinching home-court advantage for the first round of the playoffs on Saturday, Tokyo Apache coach Joe Bryant opted to rest several key players on Sunday.
It turned out that Bryant didn't need to play center Nick Davis, forwards John Humphrey and Dameion Baker and guards Masashi Joho and Cohey Aoki.
Tokyo raced out to a 21-point lead after one quarter and routed the visiting Saitama Broncos 87-63 in the teams' regular-season finale at Yoyogi National Gymnasium Annex.
