By LNB - in
The victory in the game this Tuesday (14) was not easy to achieve. FlaBasquete opened up a 20-point lead, but saw Macaé react and win the last quarter by 21 to 11. But the advantage accumulated in the other periods was worth the victory by 82 to 80 at Ginásio Juquinha.
This was Orgulho da Nação's 18th victory in the New Basketball Brazil CAIXA 9. The team remains the sole leader in the standings with four games remaining in the playoffs.
Highlights
Once again, Marquinhos led the way with 23 points and five rebounds. With this, the number 11 finished the qualifying round averaging 24,5 points per game against Rio de Janeiro rivals. His championship average is 19,4.
Three other players were instrumental in another victory for the red-and-black team. Marcelinho had 13 points, five rebounds, and six assists in the match, Mineiro had 12 points, five rebounds, and five assists, while Ronald Ramon scored 11 points, dished out seven more assists, and rebounded four balls.
Next challenge
Flamengo will only return to action in the NBB CAIXA 9 next Wednesday (22). José Neto's team will go to Fortaleza to face Solar Cearense, at 19:30 pm.
