Basketball: Valiant India Push Jordan To The Brink In FIBA Asia Cup Opener
King Abdullah Sports City: India delivered a spirited performance in their opening game of the FIBA Asia Cup 2025, taking higher-ranked Jordan to overtime before narrowly going down 91-84 at the King Abdullah Sports City here on Tuesday.
Facing one of the tournament’s top contenders, India showcased immense grit and composure, holding an 80-76 lead with less than a minute left in regulation time. But Jordan’s experience and clutch shooting saw them claw back, eventually edging past the young Indian team in extra time.
Arvind Krishnan led India’s charge with 14 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists, while Pranav Prince added 12 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, and a crucial block. Prince’s all-round performance was instrumental in India taking control late in the fourth quarter, including the key bucket that gave them a two-possession cushion with 53 seconds remaining.
