Saudi European Expo (SEE) delivered when it really mattered and scored a decisive 97-74 victory over Al Yamama Warriors last Friday to capture the championship tropy in the 1st Maskan Arabia Invitational Basketball Tournament at the Maskan Arabia Camp on the outskirts of Riyadh.
J. Cabarrubias showed why he is the Best Player of the tournament, scoring 15 of 33 third quarter points that effectively turned the game around for SEE. Cabarrubias finished with a night-high 33 points. N. Lumabi added 26 points, J. P. Gaylan had 12, L. Gomocay 10 while M. Martin and M. Paras each scored 8 points.
Escobia top-scored with 22 points for the Warriors but the usually reliable J. Bundoc was held to a measly 6 points and was scoreless in the middle quarters. Losorata contributed 12 points and Nabo had 10.
Al Bustan Spurs beat Al-Hammadi in another knockout game for third and fourth place.
