Ahead of the EuroLeague season, Dubai BC assistant coach Diamantis Panagiotopoulos expressed mixed feelings regarding the team’s preparations. While noting that national team schedules and player injuries had limited training time, he stated the team was satisfied with their direction and focused on establishing a defensive identity. In their EuroLeague premiere at the Coca-Cola Arena, Dubai BC secured a 78-77 victory against Real Madrid. The win served as revenge for Dubai’s recent loss to the Spanish side in the EuroLeague Super Cup semi-final. Although Real Madrid held a double-digit lead of 44-38 at halftime, Dubai mounted a strong third-quarter comeback, outscoring the visitors 25-18 to take a 63-62 lead. Real Madrid regained a five-point advantage (77-71) with only three minutes remaining in the final period, but they failed to score in the closing minutes. The match ended in a thriller when Real Madrid failed to convert final scoring opportunities, including missed attempts by Facundo Campazzo and Andrés Feliz. Dwayne Bacon led Dubai with 24 points, five rebounds, ~~and~~ four assists, and a performance rating of 31, while McKinley Wright contributed 12 points. Despite Real Madrid having a higher overall field goal percentage (45.59% to 39.71%), Dubai’s dominance in rebounding (45 to 30) and superior three-point shooting (10 made out of 28 attempts) proved decisive.
