CRB Dar Beida answered with a quick bucket, but Setif sealed the win with another pair from the line and a final defensive rebound as time expired.

Tactical story

This was a game of pace and shot-making. Both teams pushed the ball in transition and attempted a high volume of three-pointers. Setif’s half-court offense was effective when they attacked the paint first, drawing help defenders and creating open kick-out opportunities. CRB Dar Beida relied on their athletic wings to get to the rim and their guards to knock down pull-up jumpers.

Foul trouble shaped the rotations in the second half. Setif were forced to use their bench more than planned, but their reserves provided crucial minutes. CRB Dar Beida’s rebounding kept them alive, especially on the offensive glass, but late turnovers and missed free throws in the second overtime proved decisive.

Standout performers

Setif’s lead guard was the engine of the offense, scoring consistently in transition and making smart decisions in overtime. Their interior players combined for important baskets around the rim and held their own on the boards. CRB Dar Beida’s best player delivered a big performance with a double-double, while their shooting guard hit several contested shots to keep the game alive.

Season impact

The win is a significant confidence boost for Setif and could prove important in the race for playoff positioning in the Algeria Super Division standings. CRB Dar Beida leave with a tough loss but can take encouragement from pushing a strong opponent to the limit on the road. In a league where tiebreakers and head-to-head results matter, this double-overtime classic may be remembered as a key moment of the campaign.
