However, opposing foreign player Victor Lo scored a 1-1 breakaway score against Warnie and even got a free throw, giving Ryukyu the win.
In SK's subsequent attack, both of Warney's two shots missed the rim, and Ryukyu had the last laugh.
For SK, where Warnie was on fire with 39 points and 10 rebounds, the downturn on the outskirts was painful.
He threw 23 and missed 19.
Guards Oh Jae-hyeon and Riano, who are better at breaking through than shooting, threw 9 shots and missed them all, bowing their heads.
In Ryukyu, Keita Imamura played well, scoring 18 points, including 4 3-pointers.
SK took second place behind Anyang Jeonggwanjang in the inaugural EASL held from March 1st to 5th this year using the 'Champions Week' format, which compressed the group stage and tournament schedule into five days.
