Ray Parks Jr. delivered another big-time performance to lead the Osaka Evessa past the San-en NeoPhoenix, 85-69, on Sunday, October 5, in the 2025-26 B.LEAGUE season.

Parks Jr. exploded for 24 points on near-perfect shooting, going 5-of-6 from three and missing only once from the field.

 

 

The Filipino guard built on his 21-point outing from Saturday’s loss to power Osaka to a home win and a 1-1 series split against San-en.

Elsewhere, AJ Edu turned in another solid game for the Gunma Crane Thunders, tallying 12 points and six rebounds, but the team fell short of a sweep as SeaHorses Mikawa protected home court with a 98-71 victory.

In Nagoya, Francis Lopez showed marked improvement, scoring 10 points in 13 minutes for FE Nagoya.

However, the Fighting Eagles couldn’t avoid an 0-2 start after falling to the Chiba Jets, 99-70.
