With two wins in Rio de Janeiro in the Novo Basquete Brasil (NBB), the Flamengo team traveled to São Paulo where they face a series of three away games. The first challenge for the Rubro-Negro will be against the Franca team, at the Pedrocão Gymnasium, in the interior of São Paulo state. The game takes place this Sunday (January 08.01th) at 11 am, and José Neto's team will be looking for another victory to maintain their good form and further reduce the gap to the leaders.

After defeating the Franca team in a very close game in the first round (82-79), FlaBasquete tries to repeat the success, now at the opponent's home court. With Flamengo occupying fourth place in the NBB standings, and the São Paulo team sixth, both teams are now fighting to secure a spot in the championship playoffs. The Franca team is coming off two consecutive losses, which makes the game even more intense.
