Their win over Mombasa shouldn't surprise anyone as this team has been on a mission the last several weeks.  They have continuously pounced on their opponents right after the tip-off and have played with great energy.

Their insanely long winning streak comes to a close.  Not having their entire roster certainly hurt them to start the game, but to Beirut's credit, the game was within striking distance near halftime, but Mombasa just couldn't keep up.

Having Shereef Zubi would have certainly helped in their worst offensive showing of the season.  Anas Zubi also had his first sub-20 point game of Summerball.

This team is officially a contender after upsetting Mecca on Saturday.  Despite playing mediocre on offense, their defense was locked in and stifled the division's leading scorer.  They have come a long way from their slow start to the season.

George Kabanjian has missed the last two games, otherwise this team woulda/coulda/shoulda been 6-2.  They certainly could've used his heady playmaking and ballhandling skills on Saturday in a game where Granada turned it over 21 times en route to a monumental collapse to Kabul.

Bilal Ghous filled the boxscore in easily his best game of the season.  Delhi has an intriguing matchup next week versus red-hot Istanbul.  I wouldn't count on them winning next week, but this team has surprised me in the past.

Kabul looked dead in the water as Granada chest bumped its way to a 19 point second-half lead.  All that celebration may have lit a fire under this club though as they stormed back on a 32-7 run to close the game.  Huthaifa S quietly leads this team in PPG and efficiency - he needs more looks on offense.

Anwar Ahmad has been ultra reliable for Cordoba this season and is now a top-5 FG shooter of those who hit >5 FG per game.  Unfortunately, it wasn't enough to defeat Delhi.  Good news is that Sana'a is up next week.

In a ballyhooed contest (not really), Suba squeaked out a 2 point victory for their first of the season.  Aadit Shah found the range after struggling in his last couple of contests.

Someone had to lose, and it might as well have been Sana'a.  This team is now 2-17 over the last three seasons, with its only victories coming in the final seconds.
