The Ryukyu Golden Kings clinched their sixth consecutive playoff berth on Saturday, beating the host Shimane Susanoo Magic 79-64.
Anthony McHenry, the reigning regular-season MVP, set the tone for Ryukyu (30-5) with 21 points, six rebounds, four assists, four blocks and three steals.
The Western Conference-leading Golden Kings sank 10 of 25 3-pointers and held the Magic to 4-for-12 shooting from beyond the arc. Ryukyu's additional 18 points on 3s gave them a valuable cushion.
