Flamengo takes to the court this Thursday (08), at 19:30 pm, for another match in NBB 10. Continuing the "tour" in São Paulo, Mais Querido will face the Pinheiros team at the Henrique Vilaboim gym.
In the final match of the competition, Rubro-Negro defeated Liga Sorocabana 70-63. Marquinhos, once again, was the game's top scorer with 17 points. Anderson Varejão, with 16 points and 7 rebounds, was also a standout.
Coach José Neto spoke about Flamengo's stance in the final stretch of the regular season.
"Our focus is very focused, which is always on the next match. I'm not thinking about Paulistano; when the time comes for us to face each other, that's when I'll think about it. We're very focused on our work to make it to the playoffs," he said.
