Iran Basketball Beats Iraq in Asian Qualifiers

TEHRAN (Iran News) Iran’s three-pointers made totals for the 3rd most made by a team in a single game of the Asian Qualifiers. This would also be the most three-pointers made by a West Asian team.

It was not a one-man display of sharpshooting either as both Matin Aqajanpour and Behnam Yakhchali both dropped 5 triples each. Sina Vahedi and Arman Zangeneh then both added 3 three-pointers from their end.

They were just one more three-pointer short of being just the 7th team ever in the World Cup Qualifiers to make 20 three-pointers.

The game was held at Nouhad Nawfal Sports Complex in Zouq Mkayel, a town in the Keserwan District of Lebanon.
