Week 2 1-1 8

An absolute heartbreaking miss for Mohammad Popal to tie the game at the end of regulation. But there’s always positives to take away. Abdul Mutaleb (24pts, 8-18) looks like he’s getting back to form, and I’m sure no team wants to see him when his shots start falling. Mohammad Popal finished with 19 points, with some clutch 3s to make this game within reach. They were down by 14 at the half, and the game came down to a single shot. A lack of rebounding lost them this game. 

Week 1 1-0 5

The Winter champs are making their return without the two pieces that won them the chip, but replacing them with Husan Zakir and MB vet Abdul Mutaleb Popal. The team overall had a solid performance, with four players scoring in double digits, with Abdul leading the way with 18pts. Mohamed Popal dropped 16pts of his own while Husan contributed 9pts, 14reb, and 7asts. Overall, they played a really weak Qibya squad; the real test might be coming with Beit Jala in game 2.
