He had the game-high 22 points adding eight rebounds and nine assists for Shabab Al Ahli in his team's victory, helping them to beat Kazma (#4, 0-2), the league's bottom-ranked team 85-80. The game was between two of the league's top four teams. Shabab Al Ahli maintains the 2nd position in West Asia Super League . They maintain a perfect record without any lost game in the league. But it's just the very beginning of the season and Shabab Al Ahli won both games without losing any. It's too early to say anything as the standings can be changed completely after next round. In the team's last game Lewis had a remarkable 58.3% from 2-point range. He turned to be Shabab Al Ahli's top player in his first season with the team.

It was definitely game of the week between two contenders to the title. Al-Manama consolidated its place in the very top position of the standings. His team has extremely good start of the season. They won both games so far. However the season is at the beginning, so everything can happen. They still may lose their high position in the standings.
