BAHRAIN used a dominant fourth-quarter performance to pull away from rivals Algeria last night in a surprising 99-68 rout in the 23rd Arab Men's Basketball Championship in Cairo. The Bahrainis erupted for 44 points in the final period to turn a 55-57 deficit after three into a massive 31-point demolition. The red-hot nationals claimed their second win in three tries and assured themselves of a place in the semi-final round. It was a stunning ending to the contest for the Bahrainis, who did well to bounce back from a loss to hosts Egypt in their previous game after beating Saudi Arabia in their opener. The Algerians suffered their second defeat although they already qualified for the semi-finals after ending the elimination round with a 2-2 win-loss record. Bahrain and Algeria are expected to meet once again in the semi-finals. The pairings will be confirmed tonight. In yesterday's other fixture, the Egyptians outplayed the Saudis 74-58 as they completed the tournament's opening stage unbeaten in four games. The Saudis suffered their third defeat to go along with one win, and their qualification for the next stage will depend on the results of today's game. Today, Bahrain are back in action as they take on winless UAE in their last assignment of the eliminations. The game is scheduled for a 6pm tip-off. The final four is then scheduled for Thursday, with the bronze medal game and gold medal decider both on Friday. In Bahrain's win yesterday, the nationals and their Algerian counterparts were evenly matched in the first two quarters. Their opponents had a slim 22-20 edge at the end of the first quarter, but the Bahrainis managed to tie the proceedings at 37-apiece at the half. Things remained close in the third period before things completely changed in the fourth, when Bahrain raised their level and finished things strong. While firing in 44 markers, they also held the Algerians to just 11 points in the entire period. Naturalised big man Wayne Chism (206-PF-87, college: Tennessee) was once again the top scorer for Bahrain, who are coached by Salman Ramadhan. Chism finished the game with 28 points, including four three-pointers. Court general Ahmed Abdulaziz (182-G) was on fire from beyond the arc, burying five triples en route to contributing 18 points in the win. Versatile forward Mohammed Kuwayed chipped in with 13 points, while young big man Mohammed Ameer had 10. Maytham Jameel finished with eight, and both Ahmed Hassan and Mustafa Hussain had six points.

MEHDI CHERIET
Here is the weekly review of the top performing Algerian players, who play currently abroad.
#1. This week's number one is an international power forward Mehdi Cheriet (204-87, college: San Diego St., currently plays in France). He contributed to an easy victory against the 12th-ranked Charleville-Mezieres (3-7) crushing them 74-47 in the French NM1 (third division) in Saturday night's game.
Cheriet recorded 8 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists in 21 minutes on the court.
SO Maritime Boulogne (4-6) is placed ninth in Group A.
This year Cheriet averages: 8.2ppg, 3.7rpg, 1.3apg, 2FGP: 55.6%(25-45) and FT: 66.7% in nine games he played so far.
He has a dual citizenship: Algerian and French.
Despite Cheriet played previously for the French U20 national team, he played also for the Algerian national team in 2017.
#2. Second place goes to an experienced former international guard Faycal Sahraoui (186-79, currently plays in France). Sahraoui could not help La Rochelle (4-6) in their last game on Friday. Despite his very good performance the 11th-placed La Rochelle (4-6) was edged 71-69 on the road by the higher-ranked Toulouse (#6) in the Group B.
Sahraoui was the top scorer with 18 points. He also added 5 rebounds and 7 assists.
It's Sahraoui's eighth season with the team.
Sahraoui's overall stats this year are: 9.9ppg, 3.3rpg, 6.6apg, 1.3spg, 2FGP: 55.8%(29-52), 3FGP: 21.7%.
He is another player who holds two passports: Algerian and French.
Sahraoui played for the Algerian national team in 2015.
#3. The Algerian player who performed third best last week abroad was an international point guard Samir Mekdad (191-86, currently plays in France). He managed to help STB Le Havre in a victory against the ninth-ranked La Charite (5-5) 82-78 in the French NM1 (third division) on Saturday night.
Mekdad recorded only 4 points in 7 minutes on the court.
STB Le Havre (7-3) is placed second in Group B.
It was his team's third consecutive victory in a row.
Mekdad has relatively good stats this year: 11.8ppg, 3.6rpg, 3.6apg, 2FGP: 42.9%, 3FGP: 35.6% and FT: 68.8% in nine games.
Similarly like Sahraoui and Cheriet above he has both Algerian and French nationalities.
Mekdad played for the Algerian national team one years ago.
#4. Shooting guard Karim Atamna (196-80, currently plays in France) contributed to Aix-Maurienne's victory against the 15th-ranked Poitiers (1-4) 72-65 in the French ProB (second division) in Friday night's game.
He scored 6 points and grabbed 6 rebounds.
Aix-Maurienne Savoie Basket (3-2) is placed seventh in the ProB.
But this is still an early stage of the season and everything may happen.
Atamna is one of the most experienced players in a team as it's his fourth year in Aix-Maurienne's roster.
This season Atamna has relatively solid stats: 11.2ppg, 3.2rpg and 3.4apg.
Similarly like three previous players above, he also holds two passports: Algerian and French.
Atamna used to play for the Algerian national team
back in 2007.
One more player who has never been selected to any of national teams, but has Algerian passport:
#1.Chej Ainatu (191-G/F-91, currently plays in Spain) led Ardoi to an easy victory against the ninth-ranked La Fecha (1-4) crushing them 87-63 in the Spanish EBA (fourth division) last Sunday.
He scored 11 points in 23 minutes.
Megacalzado Ardoi (6-0) is placed first in Group A-A.
So far his team won all six games in the Regular Season.
But the season just started, so everything may happen.
It's Ainatu's first year with the team.
This season Ainatu's overall stats are: 8.7ppg, 1.7apg and 1.7spg in three games he played so far.
