For Wakrah, Watson Boney Harold was the top-scorer with 20 points, while Mame Souleye Ndour also netted 16 points.
In the day’s first match, Al Gharafa outplayed Al Shamal 95-75. Gharafa took a seven-point lead after the first quarter and never looked back and cruised to an easy win.
For the victors, Mohamed Abdulrahman Saad and Emmanuel Osaro Adako scored a whopping 29 and 28 points respectively. Mildon Ambres was Shamal’s top-scorer, netting 20 points while Abdulqadir Kosar made 17.
