All streaks must end.

For the Ryukyu Golden Kings, their nine-game winning streak ended by the slimmest of margins, 73-72, against the host Rizing Fukuoka on Saturday night in the bj-league.

The defending champion Golden Kings had a chance to tie the game and send it into overtime with 2 seconds remaining, when Anthony McHenry stepped to the free-throw line. He sank the first shot, but missed the second.
