Good time
With three consecutive victoriesFlamengo is enjoying a great run in the NBB. In the 94-77 victory over São José, forward Marquinhos led the way with 21 points and eight assists. Coach José Neto saw the result as a positive for this challenge.

"We have to maintain the same approach we had against São José for this game against Mogi. São José is a very offensive team, and I think it was a huge credit to our team for limiting them to just 77 points. Furthermore, much of what happened was largely due to the players' attitude, which allowed us to control the match from start to finish. Much credit to the group for the attitude they demonstrated on the court," analyzed the coach.

At home
