This way, red-hot Dubai have ended the Regular Season with a 25:5 record, just one win behind the first-placed Budućnost VOLI, that are on a 26:4 record.

Key moments: It has been a game of ups and downs, in which the hosts have been in front for the majority of the playing time, but neither of the two squads have managed to pull away for good at any point of the game and we got treated with a thrilling finish in Coca-Cola Arena. As the time remaining on the game clock was 70 seconds, the score on the scoreboard was 3 points in favour of Dubai Basketball (75:72). That’s when Awudu Abass came up with a crucial rebound and a fast break, which he concluded with a powerful dunk, to put his team up by 5 points (77:72). Budućnost VOLI did have a chance to tie the game with 4 seconds to go, as Rasheed Sulaimon fired from beyond the arc, but his shot went off target and Klemen Prepelič sealed the win on the other end from the free throw line and set the final score of the game.

Man of the match: Davis Bertans has been the key to the win of Dubai Basketball this time around, as he led his squad to the win with 23 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist, and a valuation of 23 on his record. He is our man of the match!

Can’t trick the stats: Dubai Basketball might have fallen behind Budućnost VOLI in rebounding and turnovers in this game, but have earned themselves a win thanks to better field goal percentage. They have been shooting from the field with a 41.5% accuracy, while Budućnost VOLI have been 36.1% from the field. That’s what has been crucial for the outcome of the clash this time.
