The game
The first quarter set the tone for the match. Flamengo took the lead with a more consistent and intense game, but Caxias fought hard with the support of the fans in the gym. Capitalizing on three-pointers and infiltration attempts, FlaBasquete closed the first ten minutes leading 23-21.
In the second period, the home team continued to toughen the match. Point by point, rebound by rebound, with a lot of determination, they evened the score and even took the lead, but Mengão managed to impose their superior play, closing at 20-17 and taking a small partial lead into halftime: 43-38.
The third period virtually decided the match. Flamengo was incredibly consistent and efficient, scoring 34 points in the period to Caxias's 22. In the final ten minutes, now with a large lead, they opened up a gap again, making it 27-20 and closing the match with a commanding 104-80.
