Game recap: In the Round 24 of the AdmiralBet ABA League Dubai Basketball prevailed over Krka on the road in Novo mesto. This way, Dubai Basketball continue their pursuit of the top of the standings, as they are now on a 19:5 record, behind only Partizan Mozzart Bet and Budućnost VOLI. They have also mathematically secured themselves a Playoffs spot with this win. Krka, on the other hand, needs to keep on grinding until the end of the Regular Season in order not to allow Mornar-Barsko zlato to catch them in the standings, as Krka are now on a 4:20 record and Mornar 1:22.
Key moments: We have been watching a close game of ups and downs in the opening three quarters of the game where the teams have exchanged leads several times. With 9 minutes left in the game, Dubai Basketball were still ahead by only 2 points (69:71), but that’s when Dubai went on a 16:4 run, that gave them a double-digit lead with 3 minutes to go (73:87). That’s when it became clear, that the visiting team would return home to Dubai with a win this time around.
Man of the match: With his all-around performance, Jerry Boutsiele led Dubai squad to the win with 9 points, 11 rebounds, and a game-high valuation of 16. He is our man of the match!
Can’t trick the stats: Dubai Basketball have been simply too strong for Krka in the paint. They had 33 rebounds and Krka only 25. That’s what turned the flow of the game their way
