Regular Season Round 18: Samaheej - Al-Riffa 75-88

Date: January 2, 2018
Bottom-ranked Samaheej (0-17) tried to put together a comeback for its first victory of the season, but they fell short in the 88-75 loss to eighth ranked Al-Riffa (9-7) in Manama. They dominated down low during the game scoring 58 of its points in the paint compared to Samaheej's 38. They outrebounded Samaheej 56-36 including a 22-9 advantage in offensive rebounds. American-New Zealand forward Marcel Jones (203-85, college: Oregon St.) notched a double-double by scoring 36 points (!!!) and 25 rebounds to lead the effort and Ali Asghar supported him with 14 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists. Al-Riffa's coach Toni Vujanic allowed to play the deep bench players saving starting five for next games. Even a double-double of 18 points and 10 rebounds by Mohamed Jassim did not help to save the game for Samaheej. Mohammed Hameed added 15 points and 12 rebounds. Four Samaheej players scored in double figures. Newly promoted Al-Riffa maintains eighth position with 9-7 record. Samaheej at the other side still closes the standings. Al-Riffa's next round opponent will be higher ranked Al-Nweidrat (#4) in Nuwaidrat and it may be quite challenging game. Samaheej will play on the road against Al-Bahrain (#9) in Manama and hopes to get finally their first victory.
