Dubai Basketball recorded a 100–94 win over Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz in Round 31 of the EuroLeague, controlling most of the contest before closing out the result in front of a packed crowd at Zetra in Sarajevo.

The game marked a rare opportunity for Sarajevo fans to witness EuroLeague basketball live, and the atmosphere inside the arena reflected the occasion.

Dubai set the tone early. A strong opening stretch led by Dwayne Bacon, Mfiondu Kabengele and Dzanan Musa quickly produced an 11-point advantage within the first five minutes. The team maintained control of the opening period and finished the first quarter ahead 29–21.

The second quarter further strengthened Dubai’s position. The home side increased its intensity on both ends of the floor and expanded the margin during the period. Musa played an important role in the offensive rhythm and had already reached double figures by halftime. Dubai entered the break with a 59–45 lead after one of its most efficient halves of the evening.

Baskonia, which entered the matchup near the bottom of the EuroLeague standings, showed improvement after halftime. The Spanish side reduced the deficit to single digits midway through the third quarter, briefly shifting momentum.

Dubai responded quickly. Another scoring run led by Bacon and Kabengele restored control, pushing the lead back to a comfortable margin. By the end of the third quarter, Dubai was again firmly ahead at 83–67.

The advantage continued to grow early in the fourth quarter, reaching as many as 20 points with around six minutes remaining. However, Baskonia mounted a late push, highlighted by a 10–0 run that cut the deficit to five points in the final minute.

Despite the late pressure, Dubai maintained composure in the closing moments and secured the 100–94 victory.

Bacon finished as Dubai’s leading scorer with 23 points, while Kabengele added 17. Musa delivered another all-around performance, recording 19 points along with seven rebounds and three assists in just over 23 minutes on the court.

For Baskonia, Mouhamet Diakite led all scorers with 27 points, while Jordan Omoruyi contributed 18.

Dubai will remain in Sarajevo for its next game, hosting Crvena Zvezda in ABA League action on March 15 at Zetra, before returning to EuroLeague play on the road against Partizan.
