Kuala Lumpur, July 24 (QNA) - Qatar's national men's basketball team won the second edition of the FIBA 3x3 U18 Asian Championships in Cyberjaya, Malaysia. The reigning U18 3x3 World Champs Qatar remained undefeated and proved to be more challenging than expected for the men in maroon (21-19) against Japan in the pool stage especially. Qatar had an uncontested success in the final against Philippines though, winning 21-9 on a Nedim Muslic basket. Last June, Qatar won the men's 2016 FIBA 3x3 U18 World Championships after beating Brazil in the final (20-12) in Astana, Kazakhstan. (QNA)
