Dubai Basketball are back on the winning path in the EuroLeague after a strong road performance against Bayern Munich, securing an 87:74 victory.

Despite the hosts took a narrow 3-point lead after the opening quarter, our boys quickly found their rhythm and took full control of the game in the middle periods.

The second quarter proved to be the turning point, as Dubai Basketball turned the deficit into a lead behind an excellent stretch from Bruno Caboclo. The Brazilian center scored 8 points in the period, including two three-pointers, helping his team swing the momentum and head into halftime in front – 42:37.

Dubai Basketball continued to build on that advantage in the third quarter, where another big man stepped into the spotlight. Mfiondu Kabengele dominated the paint and beyond, scoring 10 points in the period, also knocking down two shots from long range. His performance helped Dubai Basketball extend the gap into double digits – 65:51, creating a cushion the team would not relinquish.

Bayern Munich attempted to fight back in the final quarter, but Dubai Basketball had all the answers. Dwayne Bacon, who had already set the tone early in the game with 8 quick points, once again stepped up when it mattered most. The forward delivered several crucial baskets down the stretch to halt any comeback hopes from the home side and seal the victory.

With this win, Dubai Basketball improved EuroLeague record to 17-15 and continue to push toward the Top 10 on the standings.
