Timo once again freed the team and all the crowd that accompanied them in the pavilion and through the television broadcast, converting a short shot that left the national basketball champions in the lead (76-75) with 01:31 to play. Nails were crumbling, right in the VIP area next to the court, the former NBA star Dwane Wade who went to see his son Zaire (who reinforced the Cape Town Tigers) play. It wasn’t just Dwane Wade, who will enter the NBA Hall of Fame on the 12th of August, who surrendered to the qualities of the CFvB winger.
His wife Gabrielle Union, star of “Hollywood” and highlight of the films “Bad Boys II” and “Contra o Tempo”, also saw Ismael “Timo” Nurmamad make a deadly assist for Bourama Sidibe to achieve two points: 78-75. Nurmamad was, so to speak, influential in the last quarter in which the Mozambican team went to get the result.
Timo scored 20 points in 33:14 minutes on the court, still standing out with 7-of-13 field goals (53%), 2-of-3 outside shots (66%) and 4-of-5 from the free throw line (80%) .

Chemical role of the first quarter against Al Ahly of Egypt, in the debut game, Ferroviário da Beira had a weak score, accounting for 16 points against 17 of the South Africans. The eternally (?) critical third quarter was not at all good for the Mozambican team, which had no offensive clarification, with the 17 points scored (against the 26 of the South Africans) revealing this. The Cape Tonw Tigers fled the result to 11 points at the end of this stage. With a golden glory, in the last quarter, Luis Lopes Hernandez’s team controlled the game and closed it with a partial of 26-11, thus ensuring their presence in the final phase of the African Basketball League, a competition to be held from 20 on May 27, in Kigali, Rwanda.
