|December 25, 2025
Dubai Basketball continued to assert its home-court authority in Round 18 of the EuroLeague, defeating EA7 Emporio Armani Milan 99:92 in front of over 5,000 supporters at Coca-Cola Arena.
Dubai Basketball players celebrate their 99-92 win over EA7 Emporio Armani Milan at the Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai on Tuesday.
Dubai set the tone immediately. The opening minutes belonged entirely to the home side, which played with pace and clarity on both ends. The interior pairing of Canadian center Mfiondu Kabengele and Serbian center Filip Petrušev established a physical advantage early, creating scoring opportunities close to the basket and forcing Milan into defensive adjustments. When McKinley Wright IV and Dwayne Bacon added to the lineup, Dubai quickly built a double-digit lead and dictated the rhythm of the first quarter.
