MANILA, Philippines—San-En and Thirdy Ravena put a stop to their three-game skid and exacted revenge on Ibaraki, 83-66, in the 2021-22 Japan B.League season Sunday at Kamisu Disaster Prevention Arena.
The NeoPhoenix improved to a 3-5 record while the Robots slid to 1-7.
Robert Carter’s three-point play late in the second period closed a 17-5 run across two quarters that put the NeoPhoenix ahead with a commanding 42-27 lead.
Justin Knox’s jumper then stretched San-En’s advantage to 22, 63-41, with 2:29 left in the third to cap off a quick 7-0 run that effectively put the game to bed.
Ravena did a little bit of everything for the NeoPhoenix, finishing with seven points, seven rebounds, six assists, and one block.
