Sagesse 1st challenge in the WASL wasn’t settled until the last 3 minutes of the game, when Aramex key player Zaid El-Khass fouled out. Up till them, the score was swaying round a mere point as obviously displayed by the quarters’ results.

Throughout the game, Jordan champion seemed more focused and coherent, palying like a team and displaying better basketball, while Sagesse was relying more on individual skills and higher techniques of its players, mainly Khatib and Ward. Sick Satterfield was aching and had to leave court many times, a fact which obviously had a negative impact on his overall performance, although he ended the game with 22 points.

  * Fady Khatib: 34 points – 10 rebounds
