Kursi defeated Ma'un by a 53-44 final score but needed some heroics to do it. Ma'un built a halftime lead of 27-19 and seemed in control as Jamal Khanwas scoring at will but the second half was a different story. To start the second half, Kursi assigned Sherif Shehata to cover Khan and the challenge (along with some heckling from the crowd) resulted in a turning back the clock moment as Shehata took over the game. Shehata racked up five steals early in the 2nd half and was scoring tough baskets and creating changes for teammates. The result was a big Kursi run to take the lead and the win. Shehata led Kursi with 13 points while ONeil Wells and Martin Konecny each added 12 points. Ma;'un was led by Khan with 15 points and Moazzam Sheikh with 14 points.
