The team from the Emirates turned the game around with an incredible 23:2 run between the third and fourth quarters, handing the visitors their third consecutive defeat and first in the regional competition.

Partizan started better, controlling the rhythm through most of the first half. The visitors led 18:19 after the opening quarter and went into halftime with a 41:43 advantage, thanks mainly to Jabari Parker, who was the only double-digit scorer at the break. Dubai stayed close through accurate three-point shooting, hitting four of its first eight attempts.

After the interval, everything changed. Dubai completely took over with a dominant 23:2 run that broke the game open.

Dwayne Bacon led the charge, scoring ten straight points and ending the third quarter with a three-pointer at the buzzer for a 66–55 lead.

From that point on, Dubai kept full control of the game. The lead grew to as much as +22 in the final period before Partizan managed to reduce the margin late on. Dubai closed out the match confidently, securing another impressive victory and extending their unbeaten streak.

Filip Petrušev led the way for Dubai Basketball, he dropped a game-high 18 points on 6/7 shooting to go along with 6 rebounds and 2 steals. Bacon followed with 16 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists.
