Champville defeated by Blue Stars 75 - 69

Heavy loss for Champville on their Home court with 21 pts difference against the blue Stars team during their second encounter this season during the Lebanese Basketball Championship.
Facing the total degradation that was truly exposed on Champville’s team and despite their last two win, the players were out of shape and no strategic actions were truly taken. thus, the two American players Louis (3 pts) and Ford (28 pts) showed no real threat to the Blue Stars and therefore, this dramatic outcome drived our Lebanese lineup to lose their way through the scoring board and the defensive strategy; and once It was too late when Nadim Hawi gave a good performance at the end of the match.
