Dubai Basketball secures thrilling last-second win over Spartak Subotica

Oct 22, 2024

Dubai [UAE], October 22: Fans erupted as Isaiah Taylor's last-second drive secured a dramatic 80-79 win for Dubai Basketball over Spartak Subotica, improving their ABA League record to 4-1.
Although Taylor scored the decisive basket, the Dubai Basketball fanbase played a key role in the victory. With 55 seconds remaining, Spartak's Rasir Bolton, the ABA League point leader and MVP candidate, went to the free-throw line but converted only one of two attempts, as the crowd's intensity grew. This set the stage for Taylor's game-winning basket with just 2 seconds left on the clock, sealing a one-point victory.
Dubai's win was a team effort, with key contributions from several players on both offence and defence. NBA veteran Davis Bertans delivered a strong performance, hitting five of six three-point attempts and finishing with 17 points. Team captain Klemen Prepelic and Awudu Abass both dominated defensively, each recording 7 rebounds.
