Dubai Basketball fall in game 3, remain a win away from historic ABA League title

DUBAI: Game 3 of the 2025-26 ABA League Finals saw Dubai Basketball suffered an 84-70 defeat by Partizan in Belgrade on Wednesday night.

Despite the loss, however, Dubai Basketball continue to lead the best-of-five finals series 2-1 and remain just one victory away from securing their first ABA League title.

Head coach Aleksander Sekulic said after the match: “For sure, we need to think about the next game like it is the most important game of the season — which it is. According to that, we need to be focused and locked in.

“We are ready tactically, but we will also have to read what Partizan are going to do in front of their home crowd and on their home court. We are ready to adjust to certain things if needed. But most importantly, it is going to be about controlling turnovers and playing team defense.”
