Dubai Basketball beat defending EuroLeague champions Fenerbahce for second time this season
DUBAI: Dubai Basketball produced another historic night at Coca-Cola Arena, defeating Turkish giants and reigning EuroLeague champions Fenerbahce 92-81 to secure their second victory over the title holders in their debut EuroLeague campaign.
Roared on by a sold-out crowd in Dubai, Jurica Golemac’s side brought their trademark home court control to a high-intensity contest and closed out a decisive result in EuroLeague Round 21. The victory halted Fenerbahce’s four-game winning streak and underlined Dubai Basketball’s growing presence in the league.
From the opening tip, the hosts imposed themselves at both ends of the floor, executing with purpose and closing out a statement win in front of their fans. Bosnian canter Kenan Kamenjas led the charge with a dominant double-double of 20 points and 15 rebounds while McKinley Wright topped the scoring charts with 22 points — both players making their mark for their debut season with the Dubai side.
Dubai Basketball Head Coach Jurica Golemac praised his players’ response and mentality following the final buzzer.
