Thirdy Ravena produced his best game since recovering from COVID-19 as the San-En Neophoenix slipped past Niigata Albirex, 85-81, in their B.League game Saturday in Toyohashi, Japan.
Ravena had 11 points on 4-of-10 shooting with two rebounds and one assist in almost 17 minutes off the bench to help the Neophoenix extend their winning run to three games, this time in front of their home supporters at the Toyohashi City Central Gymnasium.
San-En improved to 5-17 after beating an Albirex side reinforced by three-time PBA Best Import Allen Durham.
Durham finished with 14 points, nine rebounds and five assists but Niigata dropped to 6-16.
