Story of the Game: Sunday evening in Split brings together two teams arriving at this Round 13 clash in completely different moods, as Split host Dubai Basketball in the AdmiralBet ABA League.
Split are still searching for answers after a difficult stretch of results. The Dalmatian side have lost four of their last five league games and will be eager to stop the slide in front of their home fans. Adding extra motivation is the memory of the heavy defeat suffered earlier this season in Dubai, where Split were convincingly beaten 92:58.
Dubai Basketball arrive in Split full of confidence and with momentum firmly on their side. The league leaders are enjoying a dream run, riding an impressive 10-game winning streak in the AdmiralBet ABA League and standing as the competition’s only undefeated team. With confidence high and chemistry clicking, Dubai have a clear objective in Split: secure another victory and extend their remarkable streak.
Match-up in Focus: A key battle to watch will feature Split’s in-form shooter Antonio Jordano, who has reached double figures in each of the last three games. His perimeter shooting and scoring rhythm will be crucial if the hosts are to keep pace with one of the league’s hottest teams.
On the opposite side stands Dubai’s offensive leader Dwayne Bacon. Known as a true scoring machine, Bacon has the ability to take over games when he finds his rhythm, and Split’s defense will have its hands full trying to contain him.
Head-to-Head Score in ABA: In total 0:3; In Split 0:1.
