With 12 consecutive losses, the Shimane Susanoo Magic have endured a difficult stretch in a season with few tangible positive results.
Shimane has a 1-22 record in away contests, which is worst among the 18 top-flight clubs. And first-year coach Yukinori Suzuki's team returns to the court this weekend after the international break last week (Japan participated in 2019 World Cup qualifiers) with a 7-31 record, which ties them with the Nishinomiya Storks for the poorest win-loss mark in the B1.
Simply put, the Susanoo Magic aren't scoring enough points to consistently win games.
