In Group B, on the second day of the 2011 FIBA Asia Champions two-time reigning champions Mahram needed a near-perfect fourth quarter to shake off Al Shabab of the United Arab Emirates for a 90-73 win that sees them stay undefeated. Shabab did extremely well to stay close and were within 64-62 heading into the final frame.
Mahram looked to have broken the game wide open with a run of 12 unanswered points that spanned the second and third quarters. Shabab trailed 58-43 midway through the third period, but kept their poise and made a valiant comeback with a 19-3 spurt to cut the deficit to two in five minutes. The Iranian giants had too much firepower and outscored the minnows 26-11 in the final frame to put the game beyond their reach and the result beyond doubt. The You First player Cheikh Samb scored 24 points, 7 rebound, 1 assistant and 2 blocks.
