After losing to Brasília, the Mais Querido team is set to win in Fortaleza against Basquete Cearense. José Neto's team needs another win to maintain its two-game lead at the top of the standings. The match will be at 16 p.m. on Saturday, broadcast on SporTV.

"This is a time for the team to recover from yesterday's defeat. And it will be against an opponent that has been playing very well, especially at home. Tomorrow's game will be very difficult and very important for our team," revealed coach José Neto, without forgetting the last match. 

In Fortaleza, the Northeastern Flamengo fans will be able to attend and participate in the reopening of the Paulo Sarasate Gymnasium, after a seven-month renovation to increase its capacity to 9.000 people. The idea is that the atmosphere of their second defeat in the New Basketball Brazil (NBB) will remain in the Federal District (DF). With new victories, Flamengo not only maintains its lead but also enters the final stretch of the NBB strongly. "We have to restore the group's confidence to continue in the competition and achieve our next goal of making a strong run in the playoffs," added the coach.
