Serbian outfit Ub continued their dominance on the FIBA 3×3 World Tour, capturing their fourth title of the season after edging Baskets Bonn of Germany 20-19 in a thrilling final at the inaugural World Tour Dubai yesterday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Led by tournament MVP Strahinja Stojacic, the Serbian powerhouse came through a challenging knockout campaign at Festival Bay before holding off a determined Baskets Bonn side to lift another World Tour banner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Final delivered a tense finish, with Ub holding off a late challenge from Baskets Bonn to secure the narrowest of victories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Serbians made an early statement, racing to an 8-2 lead before Bonn fought their way back into contention. Fabian Giessmann and Denzel Agyeman helped the German side cut the deficit to 10-9, but Ub responded with a 5-0 run to establish a 15-9 advantage midway through the contest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Baskets Bonn refused to back down, with an Agyeman slam dunk bringing them within one at 15-14. The teams continued trading baskets down the stretch, with Ub holding a 19-18 edge under two minutes remaining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nerandzic then gave the Serbians a 20-19 lead with less than a minute to play. Giessmann answered with a dunk, but Bonn could not find another score as Ub held on to claim the championship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The victory marked Ub’s fourth World Tour stop title of the 2026 season, further underlining their status as one of the circuit’s leading teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stojacic capped another outstanding tournament by claiming MVP honors in Dubai, marking the second time this season that he has received the individual award at a World Tour stop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Serbian standout finished among the tournament’s statistical leaders, recording 28 highlights to lead the field and 11 key assists, also the most in the competition.
