The Toshiba Brave Thunders had a strong late-game surge and prevailed in overtime in Game 2 of the JBL Finals on Thursday night, tying the best-of-five series at one win apiece with a 65-61 victory over the Aisin Sea Horses.
Just like in Wednesday's series opener, Aisin made a run in the second half, but Toshiba patiently bounced back and erased the deficit with under 1 minute remaining in the final period, and came through in overtime.
"I told our players that it would be a tough game before today's game, but never thought it'd go into overtime," Toshiba head coach Takuya Kita said after the game at Yoyogi National Gymnasium No. 2.
