MANILA – Thirdy Ravena was a winner in his B.League debut when San-En NeoPhonix edged Shimane Susanoo Magic, 83-82, on Saturday night at the Yonago Industrial Gymnasium.
Ravena took over in the fourth quarter, scoring eight of his 13 points in the final draw as NeoPhoenix struggled to hold off Susanoo Magic.
But it was Hayato Kawashima who finished the job for San-En, exhausting the two game-winning free throws with 3.6 seconds left and taking the game-saving steal when Perrin Buford fumbled while looking for his own game winner when the time expired.
Stevan Jelovac led NeoPhoenix, which rose to 2-9 in the standings, with 22 points, eight rebounds, one assist and one steal.
Kyle Hunt added 15 scores, nine boards and one steal.
Kawashima also finished with 13 markers, six in the fourth period, with one rebound, four assists and four steals.
De’Mon Brooks scored 19 points, eight carom and one steal for the Susanoo Magic, which fell to 5-6.
However, they can bounce back quickly on Sunday when they ended their home match against the NeoPhoenix with an afternoon clash. (PNA)
