Back-and-forth

While Manama dealt Kazma one of their biggest defeats in WASL, it was an exciting shootout between the victor's Travin Thibodeux and defeated side's Clint Chapman. Both players scored personal-highs with Thibodeaux scoring 34 and Chapman scoring 35 - combining for the most between two opposing players in WASL Gulf.

Thibodeaux was also highlighted for recording an EFF rating of 46, the highest ever in a WASL game.

The Abrahams

The Indonesia Basketball League tipped off this past week and we already have some standout performances from the local stars - in this case, both Abrahams.

National team star Abraham Grahita scored 12 and 16 points in his return to playing in Indonesia for Satria Muda Pertamina Jakarta, even though they were able to come away with only one victory this week. Meanwhile, Bali United and Abraham Wenas went undefeated across two games with Wenas recording 16.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 7.0 assists per game.

Good start Abrahams.
