Dubai Basketball faced a 58-77 loss to Red Star Belgrade in a EuroLeague match on Thursday evening, marking their second defeat in the competition. The team had previously defeated Real Madrid and Barcelona at home, but struggled against Red Star, managing only 37 points in the final 30 minutes. Elie Okobo contributed 10 points, 3 rebounds, and 2 assists, but managed to convert just 3 of his 13 shots. Dubai's offensive performance dropped significantly from 94 to 58 points between their first two home games and this match. Red Star's victory was particularly notable because they had never won at Dubai's Coca-Cola Arena in either the Adriatic League or EuroLeague. The match featured two decisive runs by Red Star, including a 13-0 run in the second quarter and an 8-0 run in the third quarter. Jordan Nwora led Red Star with 20 points and 6 rebounds, while Semi Ojeleye added 12 points and 7 rebounds. Dubai's Dwayne Bacon was the top scorer with 13 points, followed by Tornike Shengelia with 12 points. The game highlighted a significant difference in efficiency, with Red Star shooting 43.9% from the field (29/66) compared to Dubai's 32.8% (20/61). Red Star also had an advantage in rebounding, 41 to 36. Dubai's three-point shooting was particularly poor, making only 5 of 22 attempts. Dubai's coach Xavi Pascual cited a lack of energy and poor ball movement as factors in the loss. The team will face three upcoming European road games before returning home to face Paris Basketball on October 27.
