It was tough. It was sweaty. It was all the way to the last second! This Tuesday, Flamengo faced Paulistano in Brasília and secured their third consecutive victory in the NBB. With a basket from winger Marquinhos in the final moments, Flamengo sealed the win at 78-75. 

The match was fiercely contested from start to finish. Paulistano relied on Gelvis Solano's inspired performance, and Flamengo relied on team spirit and the distribution of points from their more experienced players. Despite struggling to rebound throughout the match, Flamengo remained close to the São Paulo team's heels on the scoreboard throughout. In the fourth quarter, Franco Balbi converted a crucial three-pointer that boosted the Flamengo's confidence, and then the MVP emerged. Star Marquinhos took control of the match and decided the game with two crucial three-pointers, one to turn the game around and the other to seal the final score! 

With the result, Flamengo remains undefeated in the New Basketball Brazil and is preparing to face São Paulo, next Friday (25), at 21:10 pm, at ASCEB, in Brasília.
