Date: December 4, 2014

This time Naft Abadan used a home court advantage and beat the opponent from Mash'had 79-69 on Thursday night. The hosts trailed by 2 points at the halftime before their 44-32 charge in the second half, which allowed them to win the game. Naft Abadan shot 20 for 31 from the free-throw line, while Samen only scored four points from the stripe. Naft Abadan forced 28 Samen turnovers. Great defensive blocking was one of the keys in this match when Naft Abadan made 9 blocks. Worth to mention a great performance of international center Asghar Kardoust (212-86) who helped to win the game recording a double-double by scoring 20 points, 13 rebounds and 5 blocks and forward Bagher Ghamari (195) who added 8 points and 11 rebounds during the contest. Four Naft Abadan players scored in double figures. Power forward Mohammad Khaleghifar (203-89) responded with 28 points and 8 rebounds and point guard Mohammad Sistani (181-86) scored 12 points. Samen's coach Mehdi Sahebian rotated ten players in this game, but that didn't help. Naft Abadan (3-4) moved-up to fifth place, which they share with PMINA Esfahan. Samen lost third consecutive game. Samen at the other side, also newcomer in the league, dropped to the seventh position with five games lost. They share it with Gorgan. Naft Abadan will meet bottom-ranked Sanaye (#9) in the next round. Samen will play against the league's leader Azad and hope to secure a win.
