MANILA, Philippines – Dwight Ramos provided the motivation as Levanga Hokkaido finally ended their long skid with a 102-95 victory over Kawasaki Brave Thunders in the 2022-23 Sunday B.League at Hokkai Kita-yale.
A fit Ramos again produced 10 points, five rebounds, four assists and a season-high six steals in less than 20 minutes to play time to help Hokkaido get back on track after nine straight losses.
