Dwight Ramos leads Levanga Hokkaido sweep of Kiefer Ravena’s Yokohama as B.League playoff race heats up

Dwight Ramos and Levanga Hokkaido strengthened their postseason push after completing a weekend sweep of Kiefer Ravena and the Yokohama B-Corsairs in the B.League.

Ramos delivered a steady all-around effort on Sunday, finishing with 11 points, two rebounds, two assists and two steals in 24 minutes as Levanga cruised to a 92-72 victory at Yokohama Arena.

The win completed a two-game set dominated by Hokkaido, which also escaped with a narrow 100-98 victory the night before.

Ramos was particularly instrumental in the opener, scoring 16 points while adding three assists, a steal and a block in a matchup that featured a head-to-head duel with Ravena, who poured in 19 markers despite the loss.

The pair are key figures for Philippines men’s national basketball team, and their clash added extra intrigue to the weekend series.

The back-to-back victories were crucial for Levanga, which had struggled in recent weeks before regaining momentum.

With the sweep, Hokkaido improved to 29-12 and moved into a three-way tie for second place in the Eastern Conference alongside the Alvark Tokyo and the Chiba Jets.

Other Gilas-linked players also made contributions in Sunday’s slate.

AJ Edu helped the Gunma Crane Thunders secure a convincing 92-68 victory over the Kyoto Hannaryz at Openhouse Arena Ota.

Edu finished with six points, five rebounds, four assists and a block as Gunma improved to 25-16.

Meanwhile, Quentin Millora-Brown chipped in five points and three rebounds to help the Chiba Jets roll past Ray Parks Jr. and the Osaka Evessa, 94-78, at Ookini Arena Maishima.

Parks paced Osaka with 20 points, but the defeat dropped the club to 15-26.

Kai Sotto also found himself on the losing end as the Koshigaya Alphas absorbed a heavy 99-65 loss to the Hiroshima Dragonflies.

Recently back from an ACL injury and fresh off joining the league’s 1,000-point club, Sotto logged eight points and four rebounds in 25 minutes.

Another Filipino prospect, Francis Lopez, also endured a tough outing after the Nagoya Fighting Eagles fell 91-69 to the San-En NeoPhoenix.

The former University of the Philippines standout tallied five points, five rebounds, four steals and two blocks, though Nagoya slipped to 15-26.

With the B.League regular season entering its crucial stretch, Filipino players continue to play key roles across several teams — none more impactful over the weekend than Ramos, whose performance helped Levanga keep its playoff hopes firmly on track.
