In the first game of the State Basketball Final for children (under-17), Flamengo defeated Fluminense 83-79, at their opponent's home, and only needs a victory at home to be crowned champion. The top scorer of the match was the red-and-black Daniel Lorio, with 29 points. The Red-and-Black team returns to the court to decide the title, this Monday (28.11), at 19 pm, in Gávea.

Flamengo started the first quarter overwhelmingly and continued that way until the third period, when the team lost focus and fell behind. However, in the final quarter, Flamengo came back with even more determination and managed to turn the score around, controlling the result until the final whistle.

If the Laranjeiras team wins this Monday's game, the title will be decided on Friday (02.12), at 19pm, at Fluminense.
