Dubai Basketball Head Coach Jurica Golemac said after the game: \u201cThank you to the fans. It wasn\u2019t an easy game to play, but we approached it with the right level of seriousness.<br \/>\n\u201cWe stayed disciplined, extended our lead step by step, defended well, and maintained our focus. I\u2019m also very happy to say that during the holy month of Ramadan, we were able to donate more than 3,000 meals tonight.\u201d Co-CEO Dejan Kamenjasevic said: \u201cTo open this month with a win is special, but to do it while supporting thousands of families across the UAE is what truly matters.<br \/>\n\u201cBasketball brought everyone together tonight, our players, our fans, our partners, together we created something meaningful. \u201cThis is exactly what Dubai Basketball stands for: competing at the highest level, proudly representing this city while never losing sight of our responsibility to the community.\u201d<br \/>\nThe team delivered a strong collective performance at home.
