Dwight Ramos and Levanga Hokkaido return to B.League play this weekend, testing their mettle against one of the top four teams in the league in the Gunma Crane Thunders
Aiming for a quick bounce back are Dwight Ramos and Levanga Hokkaido.
Fresh off a 25-point outing, Ramos eyes translating his impressive stat to victories. Levanga faces a tough test against the Gunma Crane Thunders in a weekend double in the 2024-25 Japan B.League season.
The 26-year-old team captain went off with a season-high performance in points, but that went to naught after a 92-86 defeat against the SunRockers Shibuya.
Earlier, Ramos only had two assists in 15 minutes but his squad completed a narrow 67-64 escape in their first meeting.
Currently holding a 13-22 record and sitting at No. 5 in the East, Levanga faces an uphill battle against Gunma (25-10), the second-ranked team in the conference, and are motivated to get back to their winning form quickly.
The Crane Thunders are also coming off an 89-80 loss to the Nagoya Fighting Eagles, which snapped their three-game winning streak.
