The Shimane Susanoo Magic on Sunday became the first club in the 24-team circuit to reach 30 wins this season.
That road victory over the Rizing Fukuoka, extended Shimane¡¯s winning streak to four games, and it has triumphed in 10 of its last 11 games. It¡¯s been an impressive turnaround for the sixth-year franchise, which went 22-30 during the 2014-15 campaign, that has become one of the league¡¯s elite teams in its final season.
Looking ahead, Shimane has been assigned to the 18-team second division in the new B. League for next season.
