Bahrain Basketball Establishes Legacy, Muharraq Takes Top Prize
TDT | Manama When it came down to the wire, Muharraq showed why they're a force to be reckoned with. The five-game thriller against Al Ahli didn't feature flashy stat lines or overwhelming dominance, but instead, showed patience, resilience, and championship poise. Winning 3–2, Muharraq proved steady under pressure, delivering when it mattered most. The fifth and decisive game was played in front of a packed Khalifa Sports City Hall on Saturday night, with thousands of fans turning the arena into a cauldron of noise. The occasion, from the play on court to the presentation ceremony, was as much a celebration of the game as it was of the winners. Final Fitting of the Rivalry There were no blowouts, no easy quarters. Just two of Bahrain's top sides going at it with poise and pride. The series, tied 2–2 going into Saturday, had already proven its worth — momentum swings, tight finishes, and standout moments across all four previous games. Muharraq leaned on their defensive structure and bench depth, weathering Al Ahli's perimeter shooting and transition offense. The final game saw both teams lock in early, but it was Muharraq's ability to stay composed in the clutch, especially in the final quarter, that tilted the outcome. From Ceremony to Legacy The evening's climax came with the trophy presentation, where His Highness Shaikh Isa bin Ali Al Khalifa, Vice President of the Bahrain Olympic Committee, awarded Muharraq players with gold medals, while Al Ahli received their silvers. In his remarks, Shaikh Isa praised both teams for delivering a high-calibre series that showed the growth of Bahraini basketball. 'Such finals highlight the level our basketball has reached, in play and in passion,' said Shaikh Isa. 'The energy in the stands and the competitiveness on the court are a sign that the sport here is thriving.' Also in attendance were Alaa Modara, President of the Bahrain Basketball Association, and Ammar Al Kutbi, Acting CEO of Zain Bahrain, whose sponsorship continues to elevate the league's profile. More Than a Game This title win adds another chapter to Muharraq's rich history, but the broader win is for the game itself. The five-match saga reaffirmed the league's credibility as a platform for high-level, locally nurtured basketball. The turnout, the noise, the tension all confirmed one thing: Bahrain's basketball culture is no longer just emerging, it's established. With the national league growing in reach and the Olympic Committee's ongoing support, Bahraini basketball looks set to continue its upward trajectory. The season may be over, but the message is clear — this is a league worth watching.

No Taming the Wolves
Muharraq beat Al Ahli 80-76 in Game 5 to win the Zain Bahrain Basketball League title A Finale for the Ages Muharraq are champions of the Zain Bahrain Basketball League after a 80-76 win over Al Ahli in Game 5 at Khalifa Sports City Arena on Saturday. In a finale that lived up to the billing of this storied rivalry, Muharraq's poise saw them overcome a threatening Al Ahli comeback to clinch the title in front of a deafening crowd. The win capped a rollercoaster series, with Game 5 only necessary after Muharraq's comfortable 68-57 win in Game 4 forced the decider. Muharraq's early dominance in the final game was tested by Al Ahli's relentless third-quarter surge. But in the clutch moments, Muharraq's stars stood tall, delivering a victory that will echo through Bahrain's basketball support. Game 4 Sets the Stage The road to Game 5 was paved with Muharraq's heroics in Game 4, where they steamrolled Al Ahli 68-57 to keep their title hopes alive. They set the tone early, racing to an 18-7 lead in the first quarter with suffocating defence and sharp offence. Mohammed Nasser led the way with 20 points, filling the void left by Mohammed Ameer's absence, while Sir Dominic (19 points) and Keron (12 points) kept the pressure on. 'We stayed relaxed and stuck to the plan,' Muharraq's Mahmood Abbas said post-game. 'Focus and defence were our pillars.' Al Ahli, despite 19 points each from Sutton and Rice, couldn't recover from early mistakes, setting up the do-or-die match. Tale of Two Halves Game 5 was a classic from the jump. Muharraq stormed out of the gates, building a 19-7 lead after the first quarter with aggressive defence that rattled Al Ahli's shooters. By halftime, they were up 41-28, with slick ball movement and smart shot selection keeping them in control. But Al Ahli, refusing to go quietly, flipped the script in the third, outscoring Muharraq 30-15 in a blistering run that tied the game. The arena was electric, fans on edge as momentum swung wildly. The fourth quarter was where champions are made. Muharraq regrouped, leaning on their veterans to steady the ship. They edged Al Ahli 24-18 in the final frame, with clutch baskets and stout defence sealing the 80-76 win. Hassan Yasine sealed the win with a free throw as the final action of the match. The stat sheet told the story: balanced scoring and a knack for big stops when it mattered most. Rivalry Delivers Muharraq's success was a team effort, but their key players rose to the occasion. The absence of Ameer didn't faze them, with Nasser and Sir Dominic again proving their worth in the clutch. Al Ahli fought well, their third-quarter explosion a reminder of their quality, but missed opportunities and Muharraq's defensive resolve proved decisive. 'They wanted it more in Game 4, and they showed it again tonight,' Al Ahli's Ali Shukrallah admitted after the loss. 'We'll regroup and come back stronger.' This series, with its twists and turns—Muharraq's 101-87 rout in Game 1, Al Ahli's gritty 77-72 and 86-83 wins in Games 2 and 3, and Muharraq's Game 4 revival—delivered drama at every turn. Game 5 was the perfect crescendo, a testament to both teams' heart and Bahrain's thriving basketball scene. A Title for the Fans As the final buzzer sounded, Khalifa Sports City Arena erupted, Muharraq's faithful celebrating a hard-fought championship. This victory, their first League title since 2018, cements their status as Bahrain's basketball standard-bearers. For Al Ahli, it's a bitter pill, but their resilience throughout the series bodes well for future battles. With the curtain falling on the 2024/2025 season, Muharraq's clutch performance in Game 5 will be remembered as the moment they turned the tide and claimed their crown. Q1: 19–7 Muharraq Q2: 22–21 Muharraq Q3: 15–30 Al Ahli
