The Osaka Evessa needed a spark on Sunday.
Reserve guard Kevin Tyner, who attended little-known Western Oregon University, provided one for the Evessa, scoring a season-high 21 points in a 71-64 win over the Akita Northern Happinets in their bj-league series finale.
Osaka earned a series split despite losing power forward Lynn Washington to an ejection in the first quarter due to a flagrant foul.
