The junior national basketball team avenged the senior squad's two consecutive losses to Japan over the past weekend.

The under-18 men's national basketball team defeated Japan, led by the stellar performances of the twin brothers Yoon Ji-won and Yoon Ji-hoon, advancing to the FIBA Asia Cup quarterfinals as the top team in their group.

Receiving a pass from his younger brother, guard Yoon Ji-hoon, older brother and forward Yoon Ji-won repeatedly drives into the paint.

This time, the younger brother caps off a pass from his older brother with an outer shot.

Yoon Ji-won, who displayed fighting spirit with a bandage after suffering a bleeding injury on his face, contributed 12 points and 8 rebounds, while Yoon Ji-hoon poured in a game-high 27 points to lead a thrilling come-from-behind victory by a 3-point margin.

Fueled by the brothers' performances—who shared top honors within the team in scoring, assists, and rebounds during the group stage—the national team secured its third consecutive win and topped the group to reach the quarterfinals.
