Petrochimi of Iran defeated Iraq’s Al Shorta 88-67 at the the FIBA Asia Champions Cup 2016 semi-final in Chenzhou, China on Friday.

Gerald Robinson led the way for Petrochimi in this game, and he got a lot of help from Rouzbeh Arghavan, Mehrad Atashi and Mohammad Hassazadeh. Petrochimi needed all that production, too, since import James White struggled with 1-of-12 field goal shooting.
Justin Hawkins, meanwhile, had a huge game for Al Shorta, scoring 31 points, but his partner in crime, DeAndre Rice, went ice cold, making just 2 of his 16 field goal attempts to finish with 10 points.
This was a good bounce back triumph for Petrochimi, which reeled from their double-digit loss to Al Riyadi a couple of days ago.
 Petrochimi will play China Kashgar in the semi-final on Friday.

The 24th edition was held in 2013 in Amman, Jordan, where Iranian club Foolad Mahan Isfahan emerged victorious.
 The Fiba Asia Champions Cup that started way back in 1981 was a yearly event since 1990 before being stopped in 2013. After a two-year break the club-level championship returns to Fiba's regular competition format.
