West Asia Super League

Regular Season Round 4: Al Wahda - Al Riyadi 67-96

Date: December 7, 2023
The most crucial game of the last round was the first loss of Syrian Al Wahda (1-1) in Damascus on Thursday night. Hosts were rolled over by Lebanese Al Riyadi (1-0) 96-67. It was a key game for the top position in the league. Al Riyadi dominated down low during the game scoring 64 of its points in the paint compared to Al Wahda's 38. They outrebounded Al Wahda 40-27 including a 32-19 advantage in defensive rebounds. Al Riyadi looked well-organized offensively handing out 29 assists comparing to just 11 passes made by Al Wahda's players. Worth to mention a great performance of Bosnian center Elmedin Kikanovic (211-1988) who helped to win the game recording a double-double by scoring 18 points and 10 rebounds. Guard Wael Arakji (194-1994) contributed with 18 points and 5 assists for the winners. Al Riyadi's coach felt very confident that he used 10 players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. American guard Jomaru Brown (188, college: Coastal) replied with 23 points and his fellow American import forward Isaac Banks (201-1994, college: ETSU) added 18 points and 9 rebounds in the effort for Al Wahda. Defending Lebanese champion keeps a position of league leader. Defending Syrian champion Al Wahda dropped to the second place with one game lost. They share the position with 4 other teams. Both teams do not play next round, which will be an opportunity for some rest.
