MANILA, Philippines—Shiga got clobbered anew, this time losing to Seahorses Mikawa, 108-71, as it continues its downward spiral in the Japan B.League Saturday at Aisin Gymnasium.

Kiefer Ravena redeemed himself from a five-point effort on Wednesday but his bounce-back performance of a team-high 16 points hardly had any effect as the Lakestars fell into a deep hole early and never recovered.

Shiga trailed 31-15 after the first quarter and 52-28 at the half. Mikawa’s lead ballooned to as many as 45.

Jarrod Uthoff had 25 points, eight rebounds and four blocks for Mikawa, which improved to 18-16.
