Sina Vahedi led the way with a game-high 31 points, including 18 in the second half as he helped his side remain stable during the fourth quarter amidst the opposition's fightback from as much as 18 down.
Jamaleddine led Sagesse with 21 points and 10 rebounds in the loss that denied the club a return trip to the WASL Final - and an opportunity as well to bounce back after settling for a runner-up finish last year.
Sagesse still have a shot at finishing at the podium as they will face Shabab Al Ahli in the Third-Place Game on Sunday, which serves as the opening act to the finale between Al Riyadi and Tabiat.
