Ravena's domineering exploits were on full display as the Gilas Pilipinas ace went on to produce a game-high 25 points on top of four assists, one rebound, and one steal.
San-en's fifth straight win kept Ravena & Co. atop the league table as joint leaders with Alvark Tokyo at 23-4 (win-loss).
Kai drops nine in third game with Yokohama
In back-to-back 12-minute appearances for Yokohama B-Corsairs, Kai Sotto dished out nine points, five rebounds, and two blocks with a plus-minus of +20 in their 100-95 bounceback victory over Toyama Grouses.
It was a clean start to the New Year for Sotto's loan club after a 17-point loss to Seahorses Mikawa on New Year's Eve in which he posted six points and two boards.
Sotto has featured, albeit sparingly, in his first three games with Yokohama — having won twice in three games as the club still sits in 19th place at 12-15.
