Ray Parks Jr. delivered another strong scoring game for Osaka but the Evessa suffered their first loss of the new B.LEAGUE season on the road against Mikawa.
Ray Parks Jr. delivered a strong performance, but the Osaka Evessa couldn’t avoid their first loss of the 2024-25 B.LEAGUE season Saturday after falling to the SeaHorses Mikawa, 87-70.
Parks Jr. bounced back after a quiet game in his last outing, marking his second-best scoring performance for Osaka with 19 points, six rebounds, and three assists.
Despite Parks’ efforts and another 18 points from Matt Bonds, the Evessa struggled to keep up with Mikawa, who were led by Zach Auguste’s 17 points.
The loss dropped Osaka to 4-1 on the season, ending the team’s unbeaten start.
Parks Jr. and the Evessa can have the chance to quickly bounce back though, as both teams meet again Sunday, October 20.
