- 

Dubai Basketball continued their relentless push for the top of the ABA League standings with a commanding 88:97 victory over Igokea m:tel.

Playing away at Laktasi Sports Hall, the team wasted no time in pinning their authority on Bosnian soil, setting a new single-quarter scoring record for the season.

The win lifts Dubai Basketball to an impressive 24-5 record, keeping them firmly in the race for first with only one more round before playoffs. With just one win behind Partizan Mozzart Bet and Buducnost VOLI, a game in hand for the latter, the battle for the league's top spot remains yet to be secured.

Dubai Basketball exploded out of the gates on Saturday, delivering a first-quarter performance for the record books.

The team put up a staggering 39 points in the opening IO minutes, the highest-scoring quarter by any team this season, and built an early 20-point lead (4:24) by the fifth minute. The Bosnian side struggled to keep pace, and despite an effort to comeback, the home team was unable to recover from Dubai's strong start.
