Saudi Arabia

Regular Season Round 17: Al Ittihad - Al Nahda 96-72

Date: January 21, 2022
Not a big story in a game in Jeddah where 10th ranked Al Nahda (2-15) was rolled over by third ranked Al Ittihad (14-3) 96-72 on Friday. Al Ittihad looked well-organized offensively handing out 30 assists. The best player for the winners was Nigerian-American power forward Maxie Esho (206-91, college: UMass) who had a double-double by scoring 19 points, 18 rebounds and 8 assists. Tunisian point guard Omar Abada (189-93) chipped in a double-double by scoring 19 points and 13 assists. Al Ittihad's coach Mohamed Kardani felt very confident that he used 10 players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. American center Malik Wineglass (203-93, college: Harris-Stowe St.) produced a double-double by scoring 24 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists and Turki Alsubaie added 10 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists respectively for the guests. Both teams had four players each who scored in double figures. The victory was the seventh consecutive win for Al Ittihad. They maintain third place with 14-3 record having just two points less than leader Al Hilal. Al Nahda lost their seventh game in a row. They keep the tenth position with 15 games lost. They share it with Duba Club. Al Ittihad will meet at home Al Salam (#8) in the next round which should be theoretically another easy game. Al Nahda will play against the league's second-placed Al Nasr and hope to secure a win.
