MANILA, Philippines—Dwight Ramos helped Levanga Hokkaido reach the next round of the Japan B. League’s Emperor Cup as they trashed Altiri Chiba, 96-68, at Windhill Kushiro Super Arena on Sunday.

Ramos finished with nine points, two rebounds, an assist and a steal on the defensive end.

His Filipino counterpart Kobe Paras had seven points for Chiba, which bowed out of the tournament.

The Nagoya Diamond Dolphins and the San-En NeoPhoenix also advanced.

Nagoya moved on after clipping Justin Baltazar and the Hiroshima Dragonflies, 89-85, despite Ray Parks not seeing action for the Diamond Dolphins.

Thirdy Ravena, meanwhile, only played two minutes in San-En’s 84-53 rout of the SunRockers Shibuya at Hayamizu Park Sports Center.

Greg Slaughter, like Parks and Baltazar, did not play in the Rising Zephyr Fukuoka’s loss to the Ibaraki Robots, 74-62, at White Ring Arena.
