Al Riyadi remain unscathed after trouncing ONGC

CHENZHOU (FIBA Asia Champions Cup 2017) - Al Riyadi continued to roll in the FIBA Asia Champions Cup 2017, maintaining their clean record after beating ONGC India.

The Lebanese side built a huge 20-point bulge after one quarter, 38-18, and they proceeded to blow the game open till the final buzzer. It was a terrific result for a team that is set to collide with defending champions China Kashgar tomorrow in a clash of undefeated teams and a rematch of last year's Champions Cup Final.



Quincy Douby was brilliant for Al Riyadi here, scoring 22 points to go along with 4 steals. He shot a flawless 10-of-10 from the floor and missed just one free throw all night. Super shooter Amir Saoud caught fire in this game, hitting 5 three-pointers, and finished with 21 points total.

On the other end, Anoop Mukkanniyil paced ONGC with 13 points, while Yadwinder Singh had a dozen. ONGC absorbed their third straight loss, but they can still break through to the Quarter-Finals if they can manage to upend Al Ahli Dubai tomorrow.
