For the second time in less than 24 hours, the Nagoya Diamond Dolphins faced a 17-point deficit entering the fourth quarter on Sunday against the host Alvark Tokyo.
This time, though, the Diamond Dolphins fell short of grabbing their second improbable win of the weekend.
Tokyo held on down the stretch despite a poor offensive performance in the final stanza, winning 73-63 at Arena Tachikawa Tachihi.
