BASKETBALL – AL HALA powered to a dominant 110-71 victory over Manama last night as gameweek six continued in the 2026-27 Zain Bahrain Basketball League.
Hala used a lopsided second quarter where they outscored their opponents by 25 points, 37-12, to blow a close game wide open. They then went ahead by as many as 52 early in the fourth period and cruised to the final buzzer the rest of the way.
Ahmed Bindayneh had a game-high 29 points while burying seven of Hala’s red hot 16 three-pointers in the contest. Tony Mitchell added an incredible triple double with 23 points, a monster 25 rebounds, and 10 assists, while Baqer Isa contributed 18. Mohammed Ghazi was Manama’s leading scorer with 14 in the loss.
Hala claimed their fifth win so far and rose to the top of the table with 11 points, while handing struggling Manama their third defeat to go with just one win.
In last night’s other fixture, Al Ettihad routed Samaheej 104-57. Ettihad led virtually the entire game and their final winning margin was also the biggest gap of the evening.
Omari Peek-Green led the victors with 24 points and 11 rebounds while Nader Shaker added 17 points and nine boards. Ahmed Husain Fateel paced Samaheej with 17 markers.
Ettihad claimed their third win in six tries while Samaheej suffered their fifth successive defeat and are still searching for their first win this campaign.
The league’s sixth round wraps up tonight with Sitra facing Al Najma at 6pm, to be followed by two-time defending champions Muharraq going up against Nuwaidrat.
