Muslim Basketball

Back with their full team, the rebranded Tiberias squad gets their first win of the season behind a solid performance from Omar Singer (17pts, 5asts) and Ameer Koyas (14pts, 6-10 shooting), both of whom missed the first game. Mahrooz finished with a double-double, with 11 points and 11 boards. They held off a strong Al-Bireh team, and I have no doubt that they’ll give everyone they face a hard time with the chemistry they’ve built over the last two seasons together. 

Did Mahrooz finally develop a shot? Going 5-11 from 3 might make him an all-around threat now. Shoutout Salman Khan, 7-13 from 3 is no joke, and he’s quickly becoming one of the best 3&D players in the league. Tubas made the game close till the very end, and it might’ve been a different game if they weren’t missing Omar Singer and Ameer Koyas.
