Dubai Basketball continued its impressive home stretch in the EuroLeague with a dramatic 89:88 win in Round 15, securing another victory built on resilience and late-game execution. For most of the night, Dubai Basketball was forced to chase the game, struggling to find rhythm from the perimeter in the early stages and dealing with long stretches where the offense stalled. Even when the deficit grew to 12 points in the fourth quarter, the team maintained composure, relying on its depth and persistence to stay within striking distance.

The turning point came in the final minutes, when Dubai Basketball finally unlocked its outside shooting. McKinley Wright and Awudu Abass fueled a late surge from beyond the arc, rapidly cutting into the gap and shifting the momentum inside a charged Coca-Cola Arena. That push carried Dubai Basketball into a tight finish, and although the visitors briefly reclaimed control entering the last minute, the hosts refused to let the game slip away.

The decisive sequence arrived in the closing seconds. After possession was awarded to Dubai Basketball, the team designed its final play out of a timeout. Wright broke free from his defender, rose into a difficult mid-range attempt, and released the ball just before the buzzer. The shot fell cleanly, completing a comeback that keeps them undefeated at home in the Coca-Cola Arena.

McKinley Wright led Dubai Basketball with 22 points and seven assists, delivering the critical moments when the team needed them most. Abass added 15 points and seven rebounds while Filip Petrušev and Mfiondu Kabengele each contributed 12. Justin Anderson and Kosta Kondić both finished with 11, rounding out a balanced team performance that highlighted Dubai’s depth and determination.
