June 1, 2024 - 17:47

TEHRAN - Shahrdari Gorgan booked their ticket to the Basketball Champions League Asia after securing a third-place finish in the FIBA West Asia Super League Final 8.

The Iranian side accomplished as much following a masterful 92-76 conquest of Kuwait Club in the Third-Place Game on Saturday evening at the Lusail Multipurpose Hall in Qatar, fiba.basketball reported.

It couldn't be any sweeter for coach Mostafa Hashemi's crew as they got back against the very same team that foiled their bid of sweeping Group B last Tuesday.

Now they can all turn their attention to the prestigious BCL Asia on June 9-15 in Dubai, where they will be going up against some of the top teams in the continent.

Salar Monji played all 40 minutes and finished with 25 points and 12 rebounds, recording an efficiency of 33 to cop STEP AHEAD Player of the Game honors.

Sina Vahedi, on the other hand, fired 4 of the team's 10 triples on his way to 23 points, which he laced with 2 rebounds and 5 assists in the 34 minutes he played.

Will Cherry flirted with a triple-double as he tallied 13 points, 7 rebounds, and 8 assists. Mobin Sheikhi chipped in 11 points, 9 of which came from beyond the arc.

Arsalan Kazemi did a little bit of everything in the 33 minutes he saw action and delivered 9 points, 20 rebounds, 5 assists, and 4 steals for an EFF of 32.
