Dubai, UAE, 14 April 2025: Dubai Basketball extended their winning streak to ten games with a commanding 71:83 road win over Mornar-Barsko zlato in Round 27 of the ABA League. The victory takes Dubai Basketball to an impressive 22-5 record, as the team continues to assert its dominance in its debut ABA League season.
Controlling the tempo from the first quarter, Dubai Basketball set the tone early and never looked back. The team maintained a steady lead throughout the game, at one point building a 20-point advantage in the third quarter following an explosive 11:2 run. The early lead proved decisive, as Dubai expertly managed the game's closing stages to secure another convincing result on the road.
Mornar-Barsko zlato made a late push to reduce the deficit to 13 points by the final buzzer. However, Dubai's composure and relentless work on both ends of the court ensured there would be no upset for the UAE-based team.
A standout performance came from Jerry Boutsiele, who was named Man of the Match by the ABA League. The centre delivered an all-around performance, finishing with 13 points with an almost perfect free-throw record, 9 rebounds, and as always, key contributions on defence.
Reflecting on the win, Boutsiele said, 'We came here with the goal to stay focused and keep our momentum going. Everyone stepped up, and we all played our part, and the team dynamic has never felt better. Ten wins in a row means a lot, but we're hungry for more. The job's not done yet, and we look forward to giving our fans a home win soon.'
With this result, Dubai Basketball further solidifies its position as one of the most exciting and consistent teams in the league. As the regular season enters its final stages, the team remains focused and determined as a top 3 contendor. The team prepares to take on Croatian side Split for their first home game this month.
