Game Recap: Dubai Basketball kept their perfect season alive with another dominant home performance, defeating Krka in Round 12 of the AdmiralBet ABA League. With this victory, the Dubai side remained the only unbeaten team in the competition, extending their flawless run to 10 consecutive wins.

From the opening tip, this one was a one-way street. Dubai Basketball set the tone early, building a double-digit lead already in the first quarter and never looked back. The hosts controlled the tempo, imposed their physicality and steadily increased the gap as the game progressed, leaving Krka without a realistic chance to get back into the contest.

Key Moments: The outcome was effectively decided in the first and third quarters, both of which Dubai Basketball won by double digits. The early surge gave the home team full control, while the strong third-quarter showing erased any lingering hopes of a comeback and confirmed Dubai’s superiority on both ends of the floor.

Man of the Match: The standout performer was Mfiondu Kabengele, who proved to be an unstoppable force for the home team. Kabengele finished the game with 15 points and 6 rebounds, but the highlight came at the end of the first quarter, when he drained a stunning half-court three-pointer to beat the buzzer, electrifying the crowd and perfectly summing up Dubai’s night.

Can’t Trick the Stats: The numbers tell a clear story. Dubai Basketball outrebounded Krka by 12, underlining their dominance in the paint, while the visitors struggled badly from long range, converting just 6 of 26 three-point attempts. Those two stats alone explain why the hosts were able to cruise to another comfortable win.
