Returning for the second quarter, Bahía Basket's approach was different. With strong defense and forcing mistakes from Mais Querido, the Argentines began to close the gap and increasingly enjoy the game. Despite the comeback, the teams went into halftime with Flamengo leading 27-25, crowning JP Batista as the man of the match of the first half.
After halftime, the mistakes were fatal, and the Pride of the Nation ended up suffering the comeback. With shots from the three-point line, the Argentine team managed the result and imposed its rhythm until the end of the period, which ended 40-45 for Bahía Basket.
After a brief conversation, the names of the match were revealed. The trio of Marcelinho, Cubillan, and MJ returned inspired. In a series of plays, they gave the Red-Blacks the lead and set them on their way to victory. It was no surprise: the game ended, and FlaBasquete won by a score of 62-58.
