FANTASTIC AL NASHAMA: Jordan stun Japan to make the quarters
source: manila2013.fibaasia.netEid-ul-Fitr celebrations in Amman can begin early after the National Team – known popularly as Al Nashama – produced a fantastic performance to beat Japan 65-56 on Wednesday and take the last available place in the quarterfinals at the 27th FIBA Asia Championship.
The win which left Jordan at the No 4 spot in Group E – while packing off Japan out of the quarterfinals only for the second time in the event’s history – also set up a quarterfinal clash against twice former champions Iran, in mouth-watering repeat of the clash between the two teams at the same stage two years ago at the 26th FIBA Asia Championship at Wuhan (China), which Jordan had won.
