The Iranians led by 5 at the end of the first quarter and never looked back, building a 25-point lead at the half and proceeding to continue pounding Sareyyet Ramallah's hapless defense.
25-year-old Meysam Mirzaei was a tower of power for Petrochimi, scoring 16 points and grabbing 9 rebounds while shooting 6-of-8 from the field. Foreign player Willie Warren also impressed with 25 points on 10-of-15 shooting, while Arsalan Kazemi was ultra efficient with 11 rebounds and 3 steals in only 15 minutes of action.
