Al-Wakrah, Al-Arabi post wins in HH the Emir Basketball Cup
DOHA, April 5, 2018-Adamu Saaka produced a brilliant 33-point effort to help Al Wakrah thrash Al Rayyan 100-70 in the HH The Emir basketball Cup yesterday.
Ernest Lee Ross and Demarius Bolds also excelled with 24 points each for the winners as Al Wakrah completely dominated their rivals at the Al Gharafa Sports Club.
Al Wakrah effortlessly won the first quarter 28-19 but a tight second period saw Al Rayyan show some fight and come within four points of the leaders (41-37).
But that proved an aberration as Al Rayyan were restricted to just 11 points in the third quarter while Al Wakrah scored 31. That gave Al Wakrah a massive 72-48 lead with 10 minutes remaining and dashed Al Rayyan's hopes of an upset.
Terrel De Von Stoglin scored 20 points for Al Rayyan while Mohamed Abdelkawy had 16 and Devon Walker 14.
In another match, Al Arabi edged past Al Ahli 85-74 after the scores were level at 57-57 at the end of the third quarter.
Oumar Seck and Nicholas Stover score 20 points apiece for Al Arabi, while William Byrd had 19 and Khalid Suliman Abdi 17.
For Al Ahli, Nemanja Besovic top-scored with 25 while Ayeni Olatokunbo and Christopher Jones scored 13 each.
