LBL Round 2 of Semi-Finals. Sagesse and Al Riyadi post victories

Sagesse - Beirut Club 91-84

Great defensive blocking was one of the keys in this match when Sagesse made 7 blocks. Guinean-French Sekou Doumbouya (206-2000) had a double-double by scoring 34 points (!!!) and 10 rebounds to lead the charge for the winners and American point guard Stefan Moody (179-1993, college: Ole Miss) chipped in 18 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists during the contest. American guard Joseph Young (188-1992, college: Oregon) responded with 31 points (was perfect 7-for-7 from the free throw line) and his fellow American import center Richard Solomon (208-1992, college: California, agency: Pensack Sports) produced a double-double by scoring 14 points and 14 rebounds. Four Beirut Club players scored in double figures. Beirut Club's coach Jad El Hajj rotated ten players in this game, but that didn't help.
