Game recap: In the opening game of the Sunday’s AdmiralBet ABA League schedule, Dubai Basketball have prevailed over Krka on the road in Stožice Arena in Ljubljana. This is the fourth win of the season for the Emirati basketball powerhouse, that continue their unbeaten path together with just three more teams so far this season. On the other side, Krka keep waiting for their first win of the season, after starting their 2025/26 AdmiralBet ABA League campaign with a 0:4 record.
Key moments: Krka have resisted the Dubai side well all until the end and when Victor Bailey Jr. made a lay-up on fast break with 48 seconds to go in the game the margin between the two squads has been only 2 points (74:76). However, on the other end, Dwayne Bacon scored while drawing a foul and put his team up by 5 points (74:79) with 30 seconds left on the game clock. A free-throw finish followed and Krka simply did not manage to turn the game upside-down in the final moments.
Man of the match: Dwayne Bacon has been the key to the win by Dubai Basketball this time, as he led the way in scoring with 19 points, while adding 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and a valuation of 23 to his record. He is our man of the match.
Can’t trick the stats: Dubai Basketball were slightly better than Krka in almost every statistical category – field goal percentage, rebounding, passing, steals and turnovers, so they fully deservedly grabbed an important win this time around.
