TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Petrochimi of Iran ruled the FIBA Asia Champions Cup 2018 WABA Qualifier after beating host and defending champion Al Riyadi, 83-53, in Final in Beirut, Lebanon.

Sports

Mike Harris exploded for Petrochimi in the final and led the way with game-high 37 points as well as 12 rebounds.

Behemoth Hamed Haddadi also added 8 points and 14 rebounds. With the win, Petrochimi avenged losing to Al Riyadi in last year's Final in Amman and in the Semi-Final of the FIBA Asia Champions Cup 2017 in Chenzhou, China.

This victory completed for Petrochimi a dominant 3-game sweep of the competition, asia-basket.com reported.  

The Iranian team had already beaten Sarreyet Ramallah of Palestine on the first day of the tournament before narrowly edging past Al Jaish from Syria.

 This result propels Petrochimi to the FIBA Asia Champions Cup 2018 first round.
