    The result dropped Saudi to 2-7, denying the Middle East team of at least matching Jordan (4-4) in the Group E standings.

    The development also removes the bearing of Jordan’s game against Gilas Pilipinas on Monday at the Philippine Arena.

    Iran and Kazakhstan are battling for the remaining Asian spot in Group F.

    Former Converge import Ethan Rusbatch led the Kiwis against Saudi with 21 points, built around five triples in just 19 minutes as they gained provisional hold on the top spot at 7-2.
