Team to host Serbian opponents at Coca-Cola Arena in Round 5 of the ABA League DUBAI: Dubai Basketball return to Coca-Cola Arena on Sunday to face Serbia’s Spartak Subotica, looking to build on their momentum after an impressive away victory in the ABA League. For the latest updates, follow us @ArabNewsSport Fresh off an 87-74 win over Borac Mozzart in Serbia, Dubai Basketball will look for back-to-wins in Round 5 of the competition to reinforce their position as one of the league’s top sides. After four games of the season, Dubai are in fourth place — just one point behind the three sides above them. Last time out Danilo Andusic delivered his best performance of the season, scoring a game-high 16 points to help secure the victory. Home fans will be hoping for more of the same on Sunday night. The history-making team, led by head coach Jurica Golemac, are playing in the ABA League for the first time and are keen to make their home court a fortress. “Playing in front of our fans at Coca-Cola Arena always gives us that extra boost,” said Golemac. “We’re ready to give it our all and make sure we keep our performance levels from last week. Spartak Subotica is a good team, but we are determined to protect our home ground and keep climbing the league standings.” Dubai Basketball have made an immediate impact in their inaugural season with their disciplined gameplay featuring prominent talent in the lineup, including former NBA star Davis Bertans and Slovenian captain Klemen Prepelic, leading the team. Spartak Subotica will be trying to continue their own winning streak as they currently stand in eighth in the ABA League standings. Subotica started the season with two tough losses but have since found their groove and will arrive in Dubai on the back of consecutive victories. With talented players on their roster, including last week’s man of the match winner Danilo Nikolic, who scored 11 points with 9 rebounds, they will present a tough challenge for the home team.
