The script had everything to ignite Ghazir. Trailing 75–68 at the start of the fourth quarter, “the Greens” clawed back and even took the lead 84–81 with 3:36 left, fueled by Paris Bass’ activity, Tony Carr’s playmaking, and Youssef “Yoyo” Khayat’s shooting. But Gorgan didn’t panic: Mobin Sheikhi drilled a deep dagger that put ...

Sagesse knocked on the door of the title once again. And, once again, the lock held firm. Beaten 101-93 by Kuwait Club after a roller-coaster final at the Rashid bin Humaid hall, the Greens unwillingly extend the “runner-up curse.” But the underlying message tells another story: a team that’s getting tougher, that knows how to come back, and ...
