Quietly, the Shimane Susanoo Magic have put together an impressive winning streak that¡¯s been overshadowed by other successful teams this season. The streak reached 10 games with Shimane¡¯s 78-59 victory over the host Aomori Wat¡¯s on Sunday
While Western Conference rivals Kyoto Hannaryz and Hamamatsu Higashimikawa Phoenix have had long winning runs of their own ¡ª the former extended their win streak to 10 on Sunday, a day after Hamamatsu¡¯s 11-victory run was halted ¡ª Shimane continues its quality play.
First-year Magic head coach Michael Katsuhisa, the former Yokohama B-Corsairs bench boss, has guided his club to five consecutive series sweeps: against the Rizing Fukuoka, Hiroshima Lightning, Takamatsu Five Arrows, Saitama Broncos and Aomori. That run includes five games with 100 or more points.
