Game recap: In the Game 2 of their Quarterfinal series, Dubai Basketball have edged out Spartak Office Shoes on the road in Dudova šuma Sports Hall in Subotica. This way, Dubai Basketball managed to sweep the series against the Subotica squad, following their Game 1 win in Sarajevo and Game 2 win in Subotica afterwards and have advanced to the Semifinals, where they will be facing the better team of the Quarterfinals pair between Budućnost VOLI and U-BT Cluj-Napoca, that have their series tied at 1:1 after two games played.

Key moments: Even though Dubai Basketball have been in front almost throughout the game, ever since the middle of the second quarter, Spartak Office Shoes resisted the EuroLeague side strongly and managed to take the game into a thrilling finish. Perhaps the key moment of the game arrived when Mfiondu Kabengele made a dunk to take his team up by 5 points (79:84) with only 90 seconds left in the game. After that, the game leaned towards a free-throw finish in which the Dubai side did not make any errors and they celebrated a narrow win in the end, that took them to the Semifinals.

Man of the match: Once again, it has been Džanan Musa, that has shined for Dubai, as he had 27 points, 6 assists, 5 rebounds, 1 steal and a valuation of 33.  He is our man of the match!

Can’t trick the stats: Dubai Basketball had slightly better field goal percentage (41% - 43%) and they were better in turnovers, as they had only 8 turnovers, compared to 12 by Spartak Office Shoes. That helped them neutralize the 10 rebounds deficit (44-34) and helped them grab a valuable win.
