Story of the game: Sunday night brings another basketball spectacle in Belgrade as Partizan Mozzart Bet and Dubai Basketball are about to face each other in decisive Game 3 of the AdmiralBet ABA League Semi-Finals. With the series tied at 1-1, this do-or-die clash will determine which side punches their ticket to the Finals.
Partizan Mozzart Bet dominated Game 1 on home court, putting up a massive 102 points in a statement performance. However, Dubai Basketball hit right back in Game 2, lighting it up with 100 points of their own and proving they belong at this level. With both sides successfully defending their home floor so far, the big question is: Will Partizan Mozzart Bet defend the home court again, or will Dubai Basketball finally crack Belgrade?
History is not on the visitors’ side—Partizan Mozzart Bet have already beaten Dubai Basketball twice this season in Belgrade, including their commanding Game 1 win. Yet, Dubai Basketball hope to finally break that pattern and win their most important match in Belgrade so far.
Both teams are filled with seasoned pros who know how to handle pressure. Now, it’s about who handles it best when it matters most.
Match-up in focus: Carlik Jones (Partizan Mozzart Bet) vs. Klemen Prepelič (Dubai Basketball).
Two big-game players. Two alpha scorers. One final battle.
Carlik Jones has proven time and again he’s built for the spotlight. After a quiet Game 1, the dynamic guard roared back with 25 points in Game 2. When Partizan Mozzart Bet need a bucket, the ball is in his hands.
On the other side, Klemen Prepelič continues to shine against Partizan Mozzart Bet. Dubai Basketball sharpshooter was unstoppable in Game 2, dropping 30 points and hitting clutch shots throughout. His ability to score from deep, draw fouls, and dictate tempo makes him the heartbeat of Dubai’s offense.
Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 2:2; In Belgrade 2:0.
