Dubai was strong after the break and won the victory in the Buesa Arena against Kosner Baskonia (79-93) on the fifth day of the Euroleague.

Xavi Pascual's team has turned around a poor start to the game, working seriously and physically hard in the second half and achieving their first visitor victory in the Euroleague. Elie Okobo and Dwayne Baconhave maintained the recovery of the Vitorian team and have made it easier for the team to finish the match comfortably.

In addition, Mfiondu Kabengele and Flip Petrusev have dominated the area, while at the local level Tadas Sedekerskis has started the match perfectly under the hoop .

The first quarter

The locals have been very good at the startof the game and have been more intense than their opponent. The partial has been 14-2, and Tadas Sedekerskis has stood out with 9 points, and has not failed.

Davion Mertz has scored two consecutive triples, causing Dubai's pace to change.

Mfiondu Kabengele has begun to impose his law on the board and Xavi Pascual's team has started scoring to turn the score around.

Second quarter

In the second quarter the forces were balanced, Dubaicame very fast,and Baskonia did well in the free throw line.

Damion Baugh's third foul has conditioned the base's rotation, but Chris Duarte has scored a triple and given the Baskonia breathe. The local team wanted to put their opponent in trouble in the area and the visitors have found no way to score.

Speed has been Dubai's best friend, Paolo Galbiati's team has stuck in the face of Xavi Pascual's defensive changes and has gone ahead on the scoreboard to rest, 43-44.

Third quarter

The Baskonia has followedthe impossible and has been very weak in attack, which has caused visitors to take a small rent at the beginning of the second half.

That advantage was up to ten points, but Chris Duarte appeared and led the Baskonia reaction. Bacon and Okobo, however, stopped the local recovery and kept Dubai ahead (62-70).

Last quarter.

Thomas Walkup has pushed thepace of Pascual's team to the A0Xavi with a 0-8 partial at the end of the game.

Kosner Baskonia did not take advantage of all the free shots and the first basket came five minutes from the end, so Dubai controlled the match and was comfortable onthe final stretch .
