    KAI Sotto and the Hiroshima Dragonflies suffered a heartbreaking 100-88 overtime loss to the Shimane Susanoo Magic on Sunday, losing momentum in the run to the 2022-2023 Japan B.League season.

    Just a day after clinching a playoff spot with an 80-71 win over second-running Shimane at the Hiroshima Sun Plaza Hall, the Dragonflies looked headed to a weekend sweep as they led 80-77 with 2.9 seconds to go.
