Flamengo secured its twenty-fifth victory in the New Basketball Brazil (NBB) on Thursday night against Joinville. The 72-99 away win was as important as the performance of José Neto's team. Starting off evenly, the Red-Blacks played a high-level second and third quarter, giving their opponent no chance.

Olivinha and the red-and-black basketball team once again played with energy and intelligence, keeping the ball rolling in the most difficult moments. Marquinhos was once again the top scorer with 29 points. Benite had four assists in the game, and center Shiilton finished with seven rebounds.

"I'm very happy to be able to play here in Joinville again, which feels like home. The greatest joys in my life, which are my children, were born here and leaving 'home' with a victory is very special," revealed the number 6. At the beginning of the game, he received a tribute from Joinville for the time he played for the club.

The next basketball match will be against Limeira next Saturday (23.01), at 16pm.
