It is remarkable that every team was a candidate to settle the result in his favor, especially in the decisive fourth period, which ended in a tie 94/94, before the two teams ruled overtime. Four minutes before the end of normal time, Al-Ittihad was ahead by six points as a result of the brilliance of his professional Kendall, who alone scored 33 points, in which he saved his team with his three-point shots that led to a tie after Kazma was ahead by three points, but Kazma made up for that fatal throw in extra time in which he was the better party as a result of the great role played by the American professional Kevin Murphy by scoring 53 points and Captain Ahmed Al Balushi who scored 23 points and was already the star of extra time, while on the other hand, the four mistakes committed by the Al-Ittihad professional Kendall playeda role in reducing his danger and participating in joint games for fear of the fifth mistake, which gave more freedom to Kazma’s players in the extra time, that results of the periods to be as follows
25/18, 27/21, 25/19 and 7/12 in extra time. Kazma scored 11 three-point shots from 28 attempts from outside the arc, compared to 10 for Al-Ittihad from 30 attempts
