First-year coach Alan Westover's Shiga Lakestars became the fifth Western Conference squad to reach 20 wins this season in the bj-league, and they did so in dramatic fashion.
Center Julius Ashby's bucket with no time remaining lifted the Lakestars to a 75-73 triumph over the Toyama Grouses on Saturday.
Shiga improved to 20-13; Toyama slipped to 16-15.
