(UPDATE) STRONG Group Athletics (SGA) went on a strong fourth-quarter run to seize control before holding off a late United Arab Emirates (UAE) national side rally to prevail, 99-91, kicking off its 34th Dubai International Basketball Championship title bid in high gear on early Saturday (Manila time) at the Al Nasr Club.
NBA veteran Chris McCullough, a last-minute addition to the team, provided the spark that saw Strong Group turn a one-point deficit into a 93-78 lead, heading into the midway point of the last period.
