The 28-year old player had a double-double of 30 points and 17 rebounds, while his team crushed Qatar Club (#8, 2-12) with 18-point margin 112-94. Al Sadd maintains the 3rd position in Qatari QBL. They would have been even better if they hadn't lost a few games earlier this season. Al Sadd will need more victories to improve their 10-4 record. In the team's last game Toppin had a remarkable 100.0% from 2-point range. He turned to be Al Sadd's top player in his first season with the team. Former Salem University star has very solid stats this year. Toppin is in league's top in points (8th best: 22.9ppg), rebounds (2nd best: 11.2rpg) and averages impressive 1.8bpg and 74.2% FGP.

Of course together with Toppin he helped Al Sadd Sports Club Doha with another comfortable win 112-94 over the lower-ranked Qatar Club (#8, 2-12) being unquestionably team leader. Al Sadd's 3rd position in the standings has not changed. His team's 10-4 record is not bad at all. Green is a newcomer at Al Sadd, but is already one of team's top players.
