Dubai Basketball claim thrilling win over Bayern Munich in EuroLeague

WAM

Dubai Basketball Club continued their strong home run in the EuroLeague, securing a dramatic 89–88 victory over Germany’s Bayern Munich in a Round 15 matchup held on Friday at Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai.

Dubai overturned a late deficit in the final seconds to snatch the win by a single point, raising their tally to seven victories this season while maintaining an impressive unbeaten home record.

Dubai’s McKinley Wright led the team to the crucial win, finishing as the top scorer with 22 points in addition to 7 assists.

Head Coach Jurica Golemac shared his review of the game, saying, “This was a very important victory, for the game where we refused to give up and refused to surrender in one part of the game. I think everybody in the Arena thought that we could not win this game, but we found guys who were really fighting, who were giving everything for each other and for the club. In the end, this effort rewarded us.”
