The Chiba Jets poured all their energy onto the court and were rewarded with the team's first-ever major title, since being formed in 2011, after a lopsided 88-66 win over the Kawasaki Brave Thunders in the All-Japan Championship men's final at Yoyogi National Gymnasium on Monday.
American forward Tyler Stone led the Funabashi, Chiba Prefecture-based team with a versatile performance, racking up 22 points, 11 rebounds and five assists, all of which were team highs.
Former NBA Development League point guard Yuki Togashi knocked down four 3-pointers and scored 20 points and Michael Parker had 19 points and seven boards for the Jets.
