Dubai Basketball returned to the winning path in EuroLeague as our team defeated AS Monaco 101:91 in Sarajevo in Round 35 of the 2025/26 regular season.

After a tightly contested first half that ended all square at 47:47, Dubai Basketball stepped up in the second half, raising the intensity on both ends of the floor and scoring 54 points after the break to take full control of the game.

The decisive push came in the 4th quarter, where Dubai Basketball showed composure, energy and execution on both ends of the floor. Our team outscored Monaco by 28:20 in the final period, creating the separation needed to secure a big victory in front of the home crowd.

It was another spectacular night for Džanan Musa, who led the team with 25 points and 10 assists, finishing the game with an outstanding index rating of 38. Musa once again orchestrated the offense to perfection, setting the tempo and delivering when the team needed it the most.

He had major support in McKinley Wright IV, who added 23 points. Wright played a crucial role in the closing minutes, scoring six consecutive points late in the 4th quarter to help Dubai Basketball seal the deal.

With this win, Dubai Basketball improve their record to 18-17 and are once again just one victory away from entering the Top 10, as the race for the postseason heats up.
