Nobody likes to lose back-to-back championship games.
The Tokyo Apache have experienced that painful feeling, dropping Sunday's bj-league title game to the Ryukyu Golden Kings by seven points after losing by 10 points to the Osaka Evessa last spring.
On Sunday, three Apache players — Nick Davis, Masashi Joho and John "Helicopter" Humphrey — fouled out — and another standout, Dameion Baker, left the game with an injured Achilles tendon.
