Al Riyadi breaks heart of Strong Group with buzzer-beating 3 to keep crown in Dubai tourney

MANILA, Philippines: Al Riyadi's ageless big man Ismail Abdelmoneim buried the buzzer-beating triple to deny Strong Group Athletics a perfect finish, 77-74, as the decorated Lebanese club team sealed its back-to-back title by winning the 33rd Dubai International Basketball Championship on Monday morning in UAE.

The 6-foot-9 Lebanese-Egyptian managed to get a good look from three-point territory after a driving Lebanese national star Wael Arakji drew the SGA defense, before kicking the ball out to the waiting hands of Abdelmoneim at the last minute who went on to drill the game-winning shot.
