    KIEFER Ravena drained three treys in Shiga Lakestars' 98-84 loss to the league-leading Ryukyu Golden Kings on Saturday in the Japan B.League at Ukaruchan Arena.

    The Filipino guard unloaded 17 points, nine assists, three rebounds, and two steals, but he couldn't stop the hosts from losing grip of the game as Ryukyu broke off from a 48-all deadlock to a 67-52 lead at the 3:11 mark of the third frame.

    The Golden Kings were just relentless from there, extending the lead to its biggest at 24, after a Dwayne Evans dunk with 5:48 left in the game.

    Evans fired 26 points on 10-of-10 shooting from the free throw line, to go with 11 boards, four steals, and three assists for Ryukyu, which stretched its win streak to 18 straight games to stay on top at 28-3.

    Jack Cooley had a double-double of 19 points and 11 rebounds off the bench, while Ryuichi Kishimoto got 17 in the win.

    Former Meralco import Allen Durham also poured 12 points, 14 boards, and four assists for Ryukyu.

    Novar Gadson topscored for Shiga (10-20) with 28 points, five rebounds, and three dimes in the defeat.
