Win, win, win! The Crias da Gávea beat the strong Franca Basquete team this Tuesday (18), by 69x56, and achieved the second victory in the Curitiba stage of the LDB 2018. In an inspired afternoon by point guard Matheusinho, author of 18 points, the Rubro-Negro dominated in the last quarter, and was crowned with another great result. 

 "Our team has played many games in a row. Yesterday, we felt the accumulated fatigue and ended up losing to Maringá. In the first half, we were still a little shaken by the last loss. Then, when we started listening to Chupeta (the coach) more, things started to flow, and we achieved an important victory," said the match's top scorer. 

João Vitor (12 points and eight rebounds), Camargo (12 points and six rebounds) and Sorriso (11 points and six rebounds) also had double-digit scoring and helped in the great performance of the red-black attack. The next commitment of the Crias da Gávea will be this Wednesday (19), at 19 pm, against Curitiba Basquete.
