El Jaish Win Qatar Men's Basketball League
El Jaish Win Qatar Men's Basketball League
Doha - Arab Today
El Jaish wrapped up the Qatar Men's Basketball League title with a 74-65 win over Al Gharafa Friday.
Al Gharafa needed a win to force a title-deciding playoff but El Jaish were determined not to extend their rivals that courtesy, eventually edging them out in a gritty match.
El Jaish claimed the title having won all their 18 matches in the tournament while Al Gharafa won 16 of their 18.
Al Gharafa, however, proved tough customers. They were always within striking distance of causing an upset, except late in the match when the El Jaish defence kept them on a tight leash.
El Jaish led 19-18 after the first quarter, but Al Gharafa fought back to take the honours in the next, 41-39.
The third quarter saw El Jaish raise their game and take control of matters. They scored 17 points in the period, compared to Al Gharafa's 11 to post a 56-52 lead going into the final 10 minutes, which were dominated by El Jaish.

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led
