Shockers Vs Billy Buckets (winner shockers)
This was a highly anticipated match up coming into the week. However, Bilal Farhat was unable to play and thus the battle of Maher vs Bilal did not take place. Team Shockers had control of this game basically from the beginning. They were led by potential mvp candidate Fadi Nagi who scored 26 pts. Also, team captain Kalid Eljahmi had the first triple double of this season with 12 pts, 15 rebounds and 10 assists. For team Billy Buckets, they were led by Munair Alhaddi with 11 pts.
In your face vs Team Umrah (Winner In your face)
This game was a hotly contested match up and close through out. Good defense was played on both sides. In your face moved the ball well. Fujo seemed to find his groove again getting to the rim against the defense with ease scoring a team high 18 pts. Safwan was able to keep team captain out of his comfort zone and did a great job playing defense.
For team Umrah, Mo Malahi had his best game of the season dropping 22 pts. Both teams played good defense and it was any ones game up until the end.
The beedy bunch vs GI Joes
This was the most exciting game of the week. This one went over time. The beedy bunch looked like they had this victory before GI Joe’s did what the league is accustomed to witnessing from them. That’s a come back and a narrow victory. With seconds to go on the clock, team joe found teammate Ghazzi for the game tying 3 as time expired in regulation. Ghazzi looked like Reggie Miller in terms of the confidence he displayed as he put up that shot. From there, GI Joes won in overtime by 3. GI Joes were led in scoring by team captain Joe. They also continue to get great play from their big man Jameel Dubally who pulled 12 rebounds and had 8 pts. Team Beedy Bunch was led by Nebill Abdulla with 17 pts.
The season has gotten very competitive and there doesn’t seem to be a clear cut favorite in the league. A match up this Saturday of team GI Joe vs Team Shockers for first place should be interesting.
