(UPDATED) STRONG Group crashed out of the 32nd Dubai International Basketball Championship after absorbing a 106-97 beating at the hands of Lebanon's Al-Riyadi in their knockout quarterfinal collision late Thursday night at the Al-Nasr Club in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

It was a sorry loss for the Philippine club team which trailed 19-33 at the close of the opening period.
