Date: December 6, 2021
The game between closely ranked teams ended with fourth ranked Al Ittihad's (7-3) road victory over 5th ranked Al Ansar (5-5) in Medina 73-39 on Monday. Al Ittihad held Al Ansar to an opponent 21.4 percent shooting from the field compared to 42.9 percent accuracy of the winners. They outrebounded Al Ansar 62-32 including a 49-26 advantage in defensive rebounds. Nigerian-American power forward Maxie Esho (206-91, college: UMass) notched a double-double by scoring 20 points and 20 rebounds to lead the effort and the former international Mathna Almarwani (186-92) supported him with 19 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists. Even 9 points and 9 rebounds by Jordanian guard Sami Bzai (190-94, college: SE Oklahoma) did not help to save the game for Al Ansar. Forward Mostafa Fadil added 2 points and 9 rebounds for lost side. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. Al Ittihad have an impressive five-game winning streak. They maintain fourth position with 7-3 record. Loser Al Ansar dropped to the sixth place with five games lost. They share the position with Al Fateh. Al Ittihad will meet bottom-ranked Abha (#12) on the road in the next round and are hoping to win another game. Al Ansar will play against Al Salam (#9) and hope to secure a win.
