1st bedroom
The first ten minutes of the game were tense. Heavy marking, little space, and, consequently, low scoring. Flamengo controlled much of the period, but Bauru followed closely, point for point. In the final minute, the visitors took the lead, but with a three-pointer from Marcelinho, the Pride of the Nation tied it up, 15-15.
2st bedroom
In the second quarter, the ball struggled to fall. Bauru tightened its defense, giving Flamengo no space, and went up 16-11 in the fourth quarter, closing the first half with a 31-26 lead.
3st bedroom
In the third period, Flamengo leveled the score again. Outperforming Bauru, Flamengo capitalized on space and, with dedication, took the lead with three minutes remaining.

4st bedroom
In the final ten minutes, Bauru was more effective and built the victory. Scoring heavily and counting on Flamengo's lack of luck, the São Paulo team controlled the game and, despite a late comeback from Orgulho da Nação, closed the match 85-80.
