Dubai Basketball added another strong performance to its undefeated campaign in the AdmiralBet ABA League Group A, defeating Igokea m:tel 74:88 on the road and moving to 8–0 on the season. The team showed confidence from the opening tip and controlled the matchup for nearly the entire forty minutes.

Dubai’s first major push came before the end of the opening quarter. With the score still manageable for the home team, Dubai Basketball pieced together a sharp 9:2 burst that immediately shifted the tone of the game. McKinley Wright, last year’s league MVP, fueled that momentum with 5 points during the run, helping Dubai close the first period with a commanding 15:26 advantage. From that point forward, Dubai never surrendered control again.

The second quarter followed the same pattern: disciplined offense, composed defense, and steady execution. Wright guided the team with 10 first-half points as Dubai kept Igokea m:tel at arm’s length, heading into the break ahead 36:47. Throughout the half, Dubai repeatedly created quality looks through patient ball movement and strong spacing.

In the third and fourth quarters, Dubai Basketball continued to dictate the pace. Every time Igokea attempted to build a run, Dubai responded with maturity and stability. The lead eventually expanded to 18 points, the largest margin of the evening, showcasing the team’s depth and ability to manage the game strategically down the stretch.

The standout individual of the night was Mfiondu Kabengele, who put together a dominant two-way display. His 20 points and 10 rebounds powered him to a 29 valuation, and his presence inside set the tone on both ends of the court. Kabengele’s energy, finishing, and rebounding made him the driving force behind Dubai’s win.
