Mengão prevailed once again. With a stellar performance by Marquinhos, the team's top scorer and the game's top scorer with 17 points, Fla Basquete defeated Pato Basquete in the NBB, 76-59, on Tuesday night at Arena Carioca 2. 

"Today's game was a game where the defenses were very good. But, at the end of the night, what matters is the victory. Of course, we have a lot to improve... We're coming off a string of trips, with little time to train. Today, Gustavo tried to give the team some practice..." analyzed Marquinhos.

"But when offensively we're not going well, defensively we have to win the game. And that's what happened. We only conceded 59 points," the star added. 

It was the sixth victory for the Rubro-Negro, who return to the court on Friday at 21:10 pm to face Mogi. The match will also be played at Arena Carioca 2.
