Jawad Williams scored his team's first basket of the game, a 3-pointer from the right corner.

Williams finished with a game-high 31 points, including 5 of 8 from 3-point range, and pulled down nine rebounds in the Alvark Tokyo's 83-72 triumph over the Osaka Evessa on Sunday afternoon at Arena Tachikawa Tachihi.
