Meralco falls to Ryukyu in EASL
The Meralco Bolts suffered an 89-71 home loss to Japan's Ryukyu Golden Kings in the East Asia Super League (EASL) at the PhilSports Arena.
The loss, which saw Meralco playing without import Akil Mitchell, marks their second consecutive defeat, leaving them fourth in Group B with a 2-3 record.
Ryukyu Golden Kings, led by Victor Law with 20 points, secured the top seed in Group B with a 5-1 record.
Ange Kouame and Cliff Hodge both scored 13 points to lead the Bolts, while their import DJ Kennedy had a subdued performance.
Meralco's playoff hopes are now in question, and their upcoming game against the New Taipei Kings on February 12 is a must-win.
The Golden Kings outscored Meralco in the second and third quarters to secure the win, repeating their earlier victory over the Bolts.
