Furthermore, the Jordanian club’s 81-52 victory over Al-Hala showcased their offensive capabilities and defensive strength. The 29-point margin of victory underlines the gap between the tournament leaders and lower-ranked teams.
Al-Amal’s impressive 92-68 win against Khorfakkan keeps them firmly in contention for medals. The Tunisian side has emerged as potential challengers to the top two teams, particularly if either stumbles in remaining fixtures.
As the tournament progresses toward its February 12 conclusion, the competition for final standings remains intense among several teams. The remaining rounds will determine final medal positions and whether Al-Fuheis can complete their title defense with an undefeated record, though specific details about upcoming matches have not been confirmed by tournament organizers.
