Strong Group prevented an embarrassing collapse by surviving the United Arab Emirates national team’ spirited comeback, 91-87, at the start of the 32nd Dubai International Championship at the Al Nasr Club early Saturday morning .The Philippine representative in the 9-team tournament seized control of the contest behind a blistering second quarter rally but still had to fend off a last-ditch run from the locals to prevail, much to the delight of the good-sized Filipino crowd in the venue.
Good thing Fil-Am Sedrick Barefield was there and he split his charities in the dying seconds to finally seal the deal for the team backed by Mighty Sports and Acrocity. To avoid the late struggles they encountered against UAE, Tiu and Lao said they have to build more chemistry and learn to move the ball better and faster in their game against Al Nasr from Libya on Sunday, 1 a.m. .Muhammad stamped his class with 24 points, seven rebounds and four assists forming a deadly one-two punch with Barefield who wound up with 23 points, five rebounds and five assists.
