Flamengo showed no mercy to their opponent on Tuesday night (21) and crushed Liga Sorocabana, winning away from home by 90 to 58. With the result, the Pride of the Nation sleeps in the lead of the NBB CAIXA - can only be reached by Brasília, which plays this Wednesday against Pinheiros - and maintains the record of never having lost to LSB in 12 games played in the national tournament.
The match started quite evenly, and the team from the interior of São Paulo even won the first quarter by one point (21-20). But in the second and third quarters, Flamengo was overwhelming and built a huge advantage, with scores of 10-23 and 10-20. In the final period, José Neto's team only needed to manage the result and secured the victory by 32 points with ease.
The game's standout players were Marquinhos, Flamengo's top scorer with 15 points, closely followed by Mineiro and Hakeem Rollins, with 14 points each. The American came close to recording a double-double, grabbing eight rebounds; while captain Marcelinho was the game's assist leader, with six assists.
Flamengo returns to the court this Thursday (23), at 19:30 pm, against Paulistano, once again away from home. The broadcast of the match will be exclusive to the National Basketball League (LNB) Live on the website and on the entity's official page.
