MANILA, Philippines — Dwight Ramos helped Levanga Hokkaido in regaining their winning ways as they edged out the SeaHorses Mikawa, 80-77, in the 2022-23 B.League season on Friday at Hokkai Kita-yale Gym.

Ramos delivered 13 points, three rebounds, three assists, and a steal, as Shawn Long powered Hokkaido with a clutch performance on both ends and finished with 21 points, eight rebounds, three assists, and two blocks.

The Gilas Pilipinas star gave Levanga a comfortable 78-69 lead after sinking his fadeaway shot with 2:29 left in the game.

But the SeaHorses threatened a comeback as Yudai Nishida scored six of their 8-0 run capped by a breakaway layup from his steal to trim the deficit to one, 78-77, with 29 seconds to play.

Hokkaido improved to an 11-30 card, bouncing back from a 94-80 loss to the Chiba Jets that ended its two-game winning streak last Wednesday.
