Dubai were more effective at the free-throw line, converting 13 of 16 attempts (81.2 percent). However, Crvena Zvezda held the advantage in rebounds, recording 41 to Dubai\u2019s 36.<\/p>\n
Speaking after the game, Dubai Basketball Head Coach Xavi Pascual expressed his disappointment with the performance, acknowledging that the team had fallen short in several key areas.<\/p>\n
\u201cFirst of all, congratulations to Crvena Zvezda and their coach on the victory. We played a very bad game in every aspect. It was a disastrous 40 minutes for us, and perhaps we were only in the game during the first 10 minutes. After that, we lost control of everything,\u201d Pascual said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe did not show the defensive level we have demonstrated in previous games, and we did not share the ball properly in offense. We were static in our movements, lacked energy and struggled with our shooting, both from beyond the arc and around the basket.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
