Star guard Masashi Joho's return to the Toyama Grouses lineup this weekend delivered what the team has come to expect during his tenure with the franchise: victories.

Joho, the 2013-14 bj-league MVP, scored a game-high 20 points and made three steals in the Grouses' 74-66 triumph over the Iwate Big Bulls in Toyama.

After missing seven games due to a knee injury, Joho made a big impact over the weekend, scoring 15 points in Saturday's 77-73 win.
