MANAMA Club and Isa Town last night proved there is still plenty of life left in the round-robin stage of the Zain Bahrain Basketball League, as they faced off in a pulsating battle.

After an entertaining match in which momentum ebbed and flowed for much of the second half however, it was Manama who emerged with the most hard-fought of 75-71 victories.

The result means Manama keep the pressure on league leaders Muharraq, who must still register at least one win from their remaining three games to ensure top spot.

Isa Town meanwhile, although already qualified for the play-off phase, will be buoyed by their second-half showing, if not the result, heading forward to the business end of the season, which begins next month.

Darius Rice, who top-scored with 27 on his return from injury, was to the fore however, as the wily Manama outfit soaked up the pressure before ensuring the win with a couple of well-taken late scores.
