Dubai Basketball lock in pole position heading into the ABA League play-offs.
Dubai Basketball have sealed top spot in the 2025/26 ABA League Top 8 phase after a dominant 92–64 away win over KK Bosna in Sarajevo.
The result confirms them as the number one team heading into next month’s play-offs.
Finishing first also gives Dubai Basketball home-court advantage in the quarter-finals, which are played as a best-of-three series, with the higher-seeded team holding the deciding advantage.
Dubai Basketball made a flying start and never looked back, setting the tone early at both ends of the court. A sharp 22–2 opening run gave them immediate control, and they closed the first quarter with a 28–12 lead before extending the advantage to 46–31 by halftime.
After the break, Dubai Basketball maintained relentless pressure, steadily pulling away and shutting down any hopes of a KK Bosna comeback.
The lead kept growing throughout the second half, sealing a convincing 92–64 victory.
The result also highlighted the squad’s depth and balance, with six players scoring in double figures.
Džanan Musa led the way with 15 points, while Kenan Kamenjaš and Bruno Caboclo added 13 each. Mfiondu Kabengele scored 12, Filip Petrušev contributed 11, and Aleksa Avramović also reached double figures with 10.
Dubai Basketball now head into the ABA League play-offs as the top seed, carrying strong momentum after a statement victory in Sarajevo.
The victory carried added significance for Dubai Basketball as it marked a strong response to recent disappointment in their EuroLeague debut season, where they narrowly missed out on the play-offs after a defeat to Valencia Basket last week.
Rather than allowing that setback to linger, the team responded with resilience and focus, delivering a commanding performance to secure top spot in the ABA League Top 8 stage.
It was a clear statement of character from Dubai Basketball, underlining their ability to reset quickly, maintain high standards across competitions, and build momentum at a crucial stage of the season.
