After winning the first game of the quarterfinals of the Novo Basquete Brasil 7 (NBB), against São José, the Flamengo team did not have the same success last Saturday (25.04), at the Tijuca Tênis Clube gymnasium. Seeing the five-game series tie at one to one, after the 82 to 76 defeat, the red-black team traveled to the interior of São Paulo where they will play, this Tuesday (28.04), their third game of the playoffs in search of classification to the semifinals.

While the home loss wasn't the expected result, FlaBasquete's record playing in São José dos Campos is quite positive. In 13 matches in São Paulo, the Pride of the Nation has won eight, with strong performances in many of them. In the last meeting between the two teams in São Paulo, in December 2014, the reigning Brazilian champions won by a landslide: 94 to 71. 

Tuesday's game (28.04) takes place at 20 pm, at the Lineu de Moura Gymnasium. Rubro-negros who want to watch the match and are unable to attend in São José dos Campos can watch the live broadcast on National Basketball League website. If a fifth and final match is necessary, the clash between Flamengo and the São Paulo team will take place in Rio de Janeiro, this Sunday (03.05).
