Mike helps Shooting Stars clinch playoff spot, end River Lions' 5-game win streak

The Scarborough Shooting Stars' best wishes have come true on Friday as the expansion team clinched a Canadian Elite Basketball League playoff berth in its inaugural season.

Canada's Isiaha Mike scored 20 points to help Scarborough deny the Niagara River Lions a sixth consecutive win by taking a 86-75 road victory to punch a post-season ticket. 

The Shooting Stars entered the fourth frame with a nine-point advantage, managing to control the final frame to pick up the tenth victory in franchise history - a pivotal one in the playoff hunt.

Toronto-born Mike tallied Scarborough's final four points with a three-pointer and a free throw to bring the game to an end.
