West Asia Super League

Regular Season Round 5: Al Rayyan - Al-Muharraq 65-79

Date: December 12, 2023
The most shocking disappointment of round 5 in the West Asia Super League was a home defeat of second-ranked Qatari Al Rayyan (1-2) to third ranked Bahrain Al-Muharraq (2-1) 79-65 in the game for the second place. It was a key game for the second position in the league. Al-Muharraq dominated down low during the game scoring 46 of its points in the paint compared to Al Rayyan's 26. American guard Ra'shad James (185-1990, college: Iona) stepped up and scored 20 points and 7 rebounds for the winners and his fellow American import Austin Daye (209-1988, college: Gonzaga, agency: Slash Sports) chipped in 13 points and 8 rebounds. Four Al-Muharraq players scored in double figures. Al-Muharraq's coach used a ten-player rotation which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. American guard Nick Griffin (188-1995, college: St.Peter's) responded with 27 points and 8 rebounds and Senegalese power forward Mouhammad Faye (207-1985, college: SMU) produced a double-double by scoring 15 points and 10 rebounds. Al-Muharraq moved-up to second place, which they share with Sagesse. Defending Qatari champion Al Rayyan dropped to the third position with two games lost. They share it with Al Ittihad. Both teams do not play next round, which will be an opportunity for some rest.
