Rubro-Negro stuck to the leader

The team's collective strength was evident in the athletes' individual statistics: five players recorded double digits - Marquinhos (13), Rafa Luz (11), JP Batista (11), Meyinsse (11) and Jason Robinson (10).
Franca eyes the G-4
Franca returned to winning ways in the NBB in the last round, after a home loss to Bauru. The team's next opponent defeated Macaé 89-74 on the road last Wednesday (January 13.01). With strong performances from Isaac and Kurtz, the team from the interior of São Paulo once again dreamed of a place in the top spots of the standings.

After the victory over Bauru, Flamengo's coach revealed his expectations for the match against Franca. According to Neto, Flamengo will face a motivated team.
"In our next game, we'll face an opponent who has been playing well in the championship and achieving important victories. They're coming off a good win in Macaé and are highly motivated by this achievement. Being aware of these facts motivates us even more to continue evolving as a team and winning the competition. A big mistake we could make would be to play a game thinking about the previous one. Therefore, our focus is on Franca and what we can do to get another victory," he stated.
