The Alvark Tokyo took care of business at home, defeating the Saga Ballooners 96-83 on February 15, 2026. Tokyo used a balanced scoring attack and superior size to control the game against a spirited Saga squad, securing a win that kept them firmly in the playoff picture. Alvark established dominance in the paint early, scoring easy baskets and drawing fouls to build a comfortable halftime lead. The Ballooners, to their credit, never gave up, using their speed and three-point shooting to stage multiple rallies in the second half. However, each time Saga threatened, Tokyo responded with a key basket or defensive stop to maintain their double-digit cushion. The result was a professional and expected victory for one of the league's traditional powers, while Saga continued to fight in their inaugural B1 League season.
