Dubai Basketball delivered one of the most memorable performances of the season, defeating Zalgiris Kaunas on the road – 77:65 – in Round 36 of the EuroLeague, after an incredible 4th quarter comeback.

Our boys showed heart, character and belief when it mattered the most. Despite trailing for most of the game, Dubai Basketball refused to surrender and produced a breathtaking finish in Kaunas.

The situation looked extremely difficult heading into the final quarter. Dubai Basketball were down by 14 points after 30 minutes – 39:53 – and the gap even increased to 15 early in the 4th period (41:56). However, what followed was nothing short of spectacular.

Dubai Basketball completely turned the game around by scoring 38 points in the final quarter, while at the same time locking down defensively and allowing just 12 points to the hosts. Possession by possession, our team chipped away at the deficit before taking full control in the closing minutes to seal a massive road win – 77:65.

Aleksa Avramović, Davis Bertans and Bruno Caboclo led the charge in the decisive moments. Avramović and Bertans hit multiple clutch three-pointers to ignite the comeback, while Caboclo dominated the paint on both ends of the floor, providing crucial baskets and defensive presence.

Dubai Basketball once again proved their fighting spirit and winning mentality, showing that no deficit is too big when belief and teamwork are at the highest level.

Avramović finished the game as the top scorer with 15 points, while Caboclo added 13, playing a key role in this unforgettable victory.

With this win, Dubai Basketball improve their record to 19-17 and remain firmly in the race for a spot in the Top 10 as the regular season approaches its final stretch.
