Defensively, they got outrebounded 36-28, registered only 1 block and committed 15 turnovers.

For Dubai, Aleksa Avramovic paced the scoring with 17 points, and Dwayne Bacon added a double-double (16 points, 10 rebounds), but the team struggled with consistency late and turned the ball over at key moments.
