With about 2 minutes and 25 seconds left in the game, Norika Konno scored off a Eurostep, one of her signature moves, for a layup.

It was a bitter ending to the last big event of her career at the Sendai school. The senior shooting guard was called for three fouls within the first four minutes of the game and picked up her fourth early in the third quarter.
